A method comprising: cold-spraying a surface of a substrate with a bond material to form a bond coating; and cold-spraying a surface of the bond coating with a coating material to form a top coating. The bond material is different from the coating material and harder than the surface of the substrate.

In some embodiments, a coating applied to steel reinforcement bar (e.g., steel rebar) that could considerably extend the lifetime of concrete structures by reducing steel rebar corrosion is disclosed. The coating includes a thin, passivating steel (e.g., stainless steel) layer that is applied to the outside of conventional steel rebar. The coating can be applied in-line through metal cold spray manufacturing, which is a high throughput coating technique that can be integrated into existing steel manufacturing plants. Furthermore, a novel, high performance ferritic steel with tailored resistance to corrosion from chlorides is described. The new ferritic steel is distinct from other commercial and experimental steels, and is better suited for coating low-cost steel structures like rebar. Multiple alloying elements including Cr, Al, and Si will each form protective oxides independently, increasing the total amount of protection and extending it over much wider ranges of pH and electrical potential.

The heat-dissipating substrate structure includes a base layer and a cold spray coating layer. The cold spray coating layer is formed on a surface of the base layer. The cold spray coating layer is a film formed on the surface of the base layer by spraying a solid-phase metal powder and a high-pressure compressed gas onto the base layer. The solid-phase metal powder at least includes a film-forming powder with an apparent density of 3 to 4 g/cm.sup.3 and a median particle diameter (D50) of 30 μm or less. A maximum depth of a bottom of the cold spray coating layer embedded in the base layer is less than 60 μm. A cooler contains an internal cooling fin joined to the base layer. An internal coolant passage is defined between the base layer, the internal cooling fin, and an interior of the cooler.

A powder feeder for a cold spray system includes a rotatable drum body, a housing surrounding the drum body, and a support structure. The support structure couples to the housing and supports the housing such that the drum body rotates about a rotation axis to provide in-situ blending of powder disposed within an interior of the drum body.
