Description
Summary:Purpose – This paper aims to explore how the emerging cold spray technology could be integrated within a framework that finally could lead to more efficient aerospace operations. Design/methodology/approach – The paper builds research question and hypotheses and answers them using support from authorities, evidence or logic. Findings – The emerging cold spray process should not be viewed in isolation, but viewed as a component of a broad framework that should include materials, technologies, market, infrastructure and strategies. Originality/value – This paper highlights that, for more efficient cold spray aerospace applications, there is a need for an interdisciplinary approach that crosses traditional disciplines, schools of thought and professions.
