Cold spray deposition of thermoplastic powder for road marking

Abstract

The work is devoted to the deposition of polymer powder materials by cold spray method. Preliminary experimental results show that although an increase in the working air temperature leads to a noticeable increase in the deposition efficiency of thermoplastic (up to 0.05), it still remains low for cold spray. In the future, the proposed method for applying road marking will allow to obtain a coating with high wear resistance, increased service life, which can be used in various climatic zones in the temperature range from -40 °C to +40 °C, which will allow replacing water and solvent based paints with least service life.
