Cold Gas Dynamic Spray

Roman Gr. Maev received his MSc degree in theoretical nuclear physics from the Moscow Physical Engineering Institute followed by a PhD on the theory of semiconductors. In 2001, he received a DSc degree from the Russian Academy of Sciences. Dr. Maev is the founding director-general of the Institute for Diagnostic Imaging Research. He is also a full faculty professor in the Department of Physics at the University of Windsor, Canada. He is the author of 4 monographs, editor and co-editor of 10 books, published over 477 articles in leading international journals, and holds 31 international patents.Volf Leshchynsky received his PhD from the Technical Physics Institute of Byelorussian Academy of Sciences in 1968, and his DSc from the Institute of Metallurgy in 1989. He then held a chair as professor of the Metal Forming Institute, Poznan, Poland, and became head of the Metal Forming Department at the East Ukraine University. From 2004 onward, he was a visiting professor in the Physics Department of the University of Windsor, Canada. He is currently a senior researcher at the Institute for Diagnostic Imaging Research at the University of Windsor and the author of numerous scientific papers.

"I began working in cold spray shortly after it arrived in the United States and have performed research in all areas including equipment design, process development, modeling, application development and technology transfer and I have found the book to be an excellent resource for me and for the students and staff that work in my group. … The level of detail makes it ideal for both engineers and scientists that want to learn about cold spray and for those who are already working in cold spray. This book can also be used as reference and a guide for developing new or improving current applications. In addition to the text, the detailed references provide the reader with the most up to date and comprehensive information on cold spray." —Timothy J. Eden, Ph.D., Head of the Materials Processing Division The Applied Research Laboratory, Associated Professor of Engineering Science and Mechanics, The Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA"… a useful contribution giving a lot of information about [the] rapidly changing field of cold sprayed coatings technology. … useful for the readers from academia and industry. The university lecturers may find a lot of information about fundamental aspects of cold spray coatings deposition technology and the engineers active on industrial R&D may be interested in nondestructive evaluation of coatings. Finally, the entrepreneurs… would be interested in the economic analysis [of] the cold spraying."—Lech Pawłowski, University of Limoges, France
