Possibilities of using cold gas dynamic spray (Cold Spray) in military applications
Dvořáček, Jan ; Štěpánek, Roman (referee) ; Řehořek, Lukáš (advisor)
This work aims to acquaint with thermal spray method called Cold spray. This method is used for repair of expensive and badly replaceable components, which are mainly used in aerospace and military branch of industry. These repairs cause economic savings, higher accuracy and quality than other thermal spray methods. There is a possibility to use Cold spray for ballistic armor production. It is possible that ballistic protection would have higher ballistic efficiency, durability and coherence. The second part of the work handle with the evaluation of the interface of a metal-ceramic two-layer ballistic protection system made by the cold spray method. The evaluation was performed in the form of light and electron microscopy.

Properties of Inconel alloy coating on austenitic steel made by cold-spray technology after electron beam remelting
Chlupová, Monika ; Řehořek, Lukáš (referee) ; Foret, Rudolf (advisor)
This diploma thesis is focused on description of the properties of a layer of Inconel 718 applied on austenitic steel AISI 304 by the Cold Spray and subsequently remelted by electron beam. The first part presents the Cold Spray with its properties, advantages and disadvantages, and also describes the principle of electron beam remelting and other possible uses of electron beam, for example welding, drilling, heat treatment etc. The second part describes the material and the methods used for the preparation and evaluation of the samples. There are evaluated the porosity, microstructure and microhardness of the layers applied by the Cold Spray and these properties are further compared with the properties of the same layers remelted by electron beam. In conclusion, the results of the porosity of the layers applied by the Cold Spray are discussed with the literature and the results of electron beam remelting are only partially described here, because it was not possible to find literature about this topic. There are also suggestions for further research of the properties of this layers, which is necessary to know before implementing this method of producing layers for commercial production.

Microstructure and properties of YSZ thermal barier coatings deposited onto CoNiCrAlY bond coats remelted by electron beam
Slavíková, Barbora ; Jan, Vít (referee) ; Dlouhý, Ivo (advisor)
The master thesis is dealing with characterization of the structure and properties of the YSZ thermal barrier coating deposited by water hybrid plasma spray technology on the CoNiCrAlY bond coats modified by using electron beam and vacuum annealing. Deposition of the bond coats was performed via high velocity oxy-fuel technology and cold spray. In case of experimental evaluation, the microstructure and chemical composition of the ceramic top coat deposited with powder and suspension feedstock was analyzed. The same analysis procedure was used also for bond coats after electron beam remelting by using two sets of parameters. Furthermore, the changes in microstructure and chemical composition of the remelted and annealed bond coats was evaluated. Eventually, the micromechanical properties of the top coats and the bond coats were measured. The ceramic top coats deposited with powder feedstock exhibited the structure composed by splats, while the top coats deposited in form of suspension showed fine structure with columnar grains. The dendritic structure was observed on remelted bond coats. The annealing process had an influence on the structure in form of coarsened phases and the chemical composition was changed due to diffusion of the elements.

Strucure and mechnical properties of cold sprayed Ti-6Al-4V layer
Sabela, Jakub ; Zelený, Martin (referee) ; Řehořek, Lukáš (advisor)
Diploma thesis deals in the first part with recent knowledge of cold spray, its mechanism and parameters of deposition, advanced coatings made by cold spray and their applications, knowledge of Ti-6Al-4V coatings and their heat treatment. Deposit of Ti- 6Al-4V powder was made by cold spray process. In experimental part, microstructure and mechanical properties of supplied and its heat treated material were observed and examined. Mechanical properties and microstructure remained unchanged by annealing at 600 °C as in the case of supplied material. Recrystallization occured in microstructure of and phases by annealing at 800 °C. Grains were emerged in microstructure and mechanical properties were decreased. Mechanical properties were improved by annealing at 900 °C due to quenching. Microstructure consists of and ’ phases. Mechanical properties were the worst for annealed material at 1000 °C because of coarsed grains. Material which was annealed at 800 °C, quenched and precipitation hardened had the best microstructure and mechanical properties.
