Therefore, research into effective repair methods is of high importance, especially for single crystal components, as they are cost-intensive to produce. The HVAF process is suitable for repair applications as it can produce dense layers with low oxygen content, which are essential for the repaired area. Additionally, the fine grain structure is advantageous for the subsequent directional recrystallization planned in future studies, aiming to transform the repair layer into a columnar or even single-crystal structure. This study focuses on applying CMSX-4 powder to single crystal substrates of similar composition using High Velocity Air Fuel Spraying (HVAF). Specifically, the effects of powder particle size, nozzle configuration, and various other process parameters, such as spray distance and carrier gas flow, on the characteristics of HVAF-deposited CMSX-4 were investigated. The microstructure was examined by scanning electron microscopy. Particle velocity and temperature measurements were performed to enhance comprehension of the process.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"btn-tec black\" href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/content\/pdf\/10.1007\/s11666-025-01944-2.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to publication<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Key words:\u00a0accura spray, high velocity air fuel spraying, parameter influence, particle temperature and velocity measurements, repair process, single crystal CMSX-4, single splat<\/p>\n<p><em><small>Originally published at\u00a0Journal of Thermal Spray Technology\u00a0(February 24, 2025)<\/small><\/em><\/p>\n<p>By\u00a0M.
