Abstract
In addition to the performance requirements, an economic analysis is critical in determining the viability of using the cold spray process for specific applications. Chapter 8 outlines the steps needed to determine the costs of cold spray and how to manage these costs. The chapter presents an organized, cost-estimating framework for cold spray operations. The cost framework includes feedstock usage, such as gas and powder, as well as economic factors, such as utilization and depreciation. A method of organizing these factors within a convenient spreadsheet is described.
