Abstract: The present disclosure relates to coating a carrier component by means of cold gas dynamic spraying. For example, a method for coating a carrier component may include: laying a mask with an opening on the component; depositing a material through the opening to completely fill up the mask opening; removing any material located above the upper side to form a flat surface even with the upper side of the mask; laying a second mask on the first mask; depositing the material again; removing any deposited material located above the upper side of the second mask to form a flat surface even with the upper side of the second mask; repeating layers of additional masks and material deposition until the deposited material reaches a required thickness on the carrier component; and after completion of the coating to the required thickness, removing the masks.

Abstract: The invention relates to a cooling device for a spraying nozzle, in particular for cold gas spraying, and to a spraying nozzle assembly equipped with such a cooling device. The spraying nozzle is surrounded by an enclosure forming the cooling device, wherein it is provided according to the invention that a cooling line within the enclosure forms a closed system which can be supplied with a cooling medium by way of an inlet and an outlet. The cooling medium therefore advantageously does not come into contact with the spraying nozzle, which is inserted into a receiving opening in the enclosure by means of a loose fit. The closure may also advantageously taper conically towards the mouth of the spraying nozzle, and therefore coatings can also be applied to difficultly accessible components by means of the spraying nozzle assembly according to the invention.

Abstract: A method for producing a shell-shaped component and a production system for producing such a component are disclosed. Thee component is produced by a cold gas stream by cold gas spraying. The particles of the cold gas stream are applied to the edge of the component being produced, wherein simultaneously a supporting body is used, which supports the component only at the point of incidence of the cold gas stream. In this way, the form of the component can be shaped by suitably moving the supporting body and the cold spray nozzle, without having to produce a core that fills the entire volume of the shell-shaped component. Thus, the method may be especially economical for small quantities, because the supporting body can be used universally for components of different geometries.
