In the present work, aluminium/zinc oxide (Al/ZnO) and copper/zinc (Cu/ZnO) oxide composite powders of various ratios were mixed by ball-milling. The zinc oxide was formed from wet chemical synthesis. The powders were deposited on 2 different substrates, Al 6061 and glass using Cold Spray. The anti-...
