This work is devoted to the study of the microstructure and the properties of the Cu-W composite coatings deposited using cold spray technology. This process allows fabrication of high-quality coatings on large surfaces of different types of materials. The technology is widely used and investigated due to technological simplicity, wide range of sprayed materials and operating temperatures. However, there are some technological problems which appear when materials with low melting temperatures are sprayed. During softening, the particles adhere to the nozzle walls and block spraying. By the way, it is possible to solve the problem adding some ceramics particles to the spraying mixture of powders. As a result, the formed coating will have better mechanical properties and the technological problem will be solved. The analysis of the general results of the microstructure studies and experiments, and comparison with other coating methods are given. Moreover, the experimental procedure of samples preparation and used equipment are given. It is shown the microstructure before and after heat treatment of the samples sprayed, microhardness measurements, thermal conductivity measurements.
