Abstract
A system and method for fabricating a cold spray additively manufactured structure includes a tool surface and a cold spray additive manufacturing apparatus. The cold spray additive manufacturing apparatus is configured to deposit metallic powder: at a first velocity and first density to form an inner layer; at a second velocity and second density to form a number of intermediate layers; and at a third velocity and third density to form an outer layer of the structure. The first velocity is below a level of permanent adhesion of the metallic powder to the tool surface. The second velocity is above a level of permanent adhesion of the metallic powder to the inner layer and any one of the intermediate layers. The third velocity is above a level of permanent adhesion of the metallic powder to the outermost one of the intermediate layers.
