Abstract
Materials with superior cryogenic strength and good ductility are increasingly in demand for resident friendly liquid-hydrogen (20K) storage tanks. Additionally, the space industry also requires materials that retain excellent mechanical properties at extremely low temperatures. However, mechanical testing at such low temperatures is highly limited due to the difficulties in..... More

Abstract
This study attempted to utilizing the kinetic spray process to manufacture tantalum coating layer and investigated the effect of carrier gas on the microstructure and macroscopic properties of the coating layer. The initial powder feed stock was a massive powder with an average particle size of 24.35 μm and 99.99%..... More
