Cold spray additive manufacturing of Inconel 718/Cu and Inconel 718/GRCop-42 multi-materials: effects of deposition sequence on interface and thermal conductivity

We are pleased to share our recent collaborative publication with the University of Twente on thermal transport in cold-sprayed IN718–copper multi-material structures.

The study shows how deposition sequence and post-processing heat treatment influence interfacial microstructure and directional thermal conductivity. Notably, heat treatment increased the in-plane thermal conductivity of GRCop-42/IN718 joints by 131%, highlighting new opportunities for designing multi-material components for advanced thermal-management applications.

We are glad to have contributed to this collaborative work and congratulate the entire team on the publication.
