TL;DR: In this article, cold gas dynamic spray or simply cold spray (CS) is a process in which solid powders are accelerated in a de Laval nozzle toward a substrate, and if the impact velocity exceeds a threshold value, particles endure plastic deformation and adhere to the surface.
Abstract: Cold gas dynamic spray or simply cold spray (CS) is a process in which solid powders are accelerated in a de Laval nozzle toward a substrate. If the impact velocity exceeds a threshold value, particles endure plastic deformation and adhere to the surface. Different materials such as metals, ceramics, composites and polymers can be deposited using CS, creating a wealth of interesting opportunities towards harvesting particular properties. CS is a novel and promising technology to obtain surface coating, offering several technological advantages over thermal spray since it utilizes kinetic rather than thermal energy for deposition. As a result, tensile residual stresses, oxidation and undesired chemical reactions can be avoided. Development of new material systems with enhanced properties covering a wide range of required functionalities of surfaces and interfaces, from internal combustion engines to biotechnology, brought forth new opportunities to the cold spraying with a rich variety of material ...
TL;DR: In this article, the engineering aspects of shape memory alloys are discussed. But they focus on shape memory rather than shape memory, and they do not consider shape memory in alloys.

TL;DR: In this article, the importance of shot peening process to obtain nanocrystal surface is presented with an inclusive clarification of actual state of the art, and the available microstructural characteristics of thin layers obtained with different processes are depicted.
Abstract: The importance of application of shot peening process to obtain nanocrystal surface is presented with an inclusive clarification of actual state of the art. Description of different shot peening methods which have proved to be able to create nanocrystallised layers is presented. Then the available microstructural characteristics of nanocrystal thin layers obtained with different processes are depicted. In addition, the influence of the process is reviewed on material behaviour under different loading conditions. On this basis, some possible addresses for future research in this field are drawn and underlined.
TL;DR: The possibilities for surface hardening of titanium alloys by alloying with nitrogen are reviewed in this paper, where both solid state and liquid state alloying has been carried out in the solid state by plasma nitriding and in the liquid state by laser melting in nitrogen.
Abstract: The possibilities for surface hardening of titanium alloys by alloying with nitrogen are reviewed. Alloying has been carried out in the solid state by plasma nitriding and in the liquid state by laser melting in nitrogen. Microstructure, hardness profiles, and fatigue and wear properties have been examined. Wear resistance was found to be greatly improved by both techniques, although at the expense of a drop in fatigue properties. Case depths of 0.1 mm were produced by plasma nitriding, while 0.5 mm case depths and a maximum hardness of 1400 HV0.1 were achieved by laser alloying.
