Cold spray and friction stir processing form ODS steel plate

A Journal of Nuclear Materials paper demonstrates an alternative route to ODS steel plate using GARS powder, cold spray, and friction stir processing.

The reported route avoids conventional ball milling and hot rolling while consolidating the deposited layer into a dense plate.
