The cold spray has been shown to be one of the promising additive manufacturing technologies to process Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene (UHMWPE)-metal integrated systems by successfully being able to coat UHMWPE on metals using fumed nano-alumina (FNA) as UHMWPE particle surface modifiers. However, the exact mechanism of UHMWPE deposition and role of FNA was widely unknown. This study aims at identifying the fundamental parameters involved in high strain-rate UHMWPE deposition and their role in successful adhesion by a technique called Isolated Particle Deposition (IPD). Major parameters that influenced the UHMWPE deposition efficiency significantly were the particle temperature and velocity and net surface activity of FNA. The stored elastic energy of UHMWPE decreases with increase in temperature, and the deposition criterion for a successful UHMWPE deposition is not to have net stored elastic energy after impact. Effect of FNA was seen in generating H-bonds that helped to establish bridge bond at UHMWPE-substrate interface.
