Intensive development of the industry in the direction of design and optimisation of novel materials and coatings leads to invention and elaboration of new powder coating technologies. One of these technologies is Cold Spray of various materials and composites. The properties of composites materials depend on their phase composition and structure of various phases. For this reason, it seems to be reasonable to manage the cold sprayed material structure by following heat treatment. Such a combined technology opens the new opportunities to control the phase comporition, dislocation and gain structure of materials. In this case, the new opportunities to obtain various phase composition and properties of materials are opened. The main goal of the work is to examine the specific features of cold spraying process of composite coatings obtained by deposition of powder mixtures or separate layers of soft and hard materials, and to define their influence on composite structure and properties in order to obtain and to develop the new composite coating applications. Three main groups of coating are studied : Al-SS coating for possible application as a thermal barrier coating, Ti-Al intermetallic coating and naw anti-frictional SS-SiC coating. Thermal tratment of the coatings is performed to favour the formation of intermetallic components and stainless steel matrix graphitisation in case of SS-SiC coatings. Mechanical properties of the coatings such as microhardness and elastic modulus are evaluated on the base of straingradient plasticity theory and the parameters of the depth dependence of the materials are calculated. Possible applications of the deposited coatings are developed and discussed.
