A newly acquired, in-house assembled laser assisted cold spraying coating technique had to be commissioned for use in future for metal coating for different industrial application which include, but not limited to chemical and orthopedic industries. To achieve this aim the objective became depositing spherical aluminum powder onto stainless steel substrate thereby investigating the coatings’ thickness and their microstructure as function of laser power.
