High-velocity air-fuel (HVAF) is a combustion process that allows solid-state deposition of metallic particles with minimum oxidation and decomposition. Although HVAF and cold spray are similar in terms of solid-state particle deposition, slightly higher temperature of HVAF may allow further particle softening and in turn more particle deformation upon impact. The present study aims to produce dense Ti-6Al-4V coatings by utilizing an inner-diameter (ID) HVAF gun. The ID gun is considered a scaled-down version of the standard HVAF with a narrower jet, beneficial for near-net-shape manufacturing. To explore the potential of the ID gun in the solid-state deposition process, an investigation was made into the effect of spraying parameters (i.e., spraying distance, fuel pressure, and nozzle length) on the characteristics of in-flight particles and the attributes of the as-fabricated coating such as porosity, oxygen content, and hardness. Using online diagnostics to monitor temperature and velocity of in-flight Ti-6Al-4V particles is challenging due to exothermic oxidation reaction of fine particles, while larger particles are too cold to be detected from their thermal emission. However, DPV diagnostic system was successfully employed to differentiate the non-emitting solid particles from the burning ones. It was found that increasing air and fuel pressure of the ID-HVAF jet led to an increase of the velocity of the in-flight particles, and resulted in improved density and hardness of the as-sprayed samples. However, increasing the spraying distance had a negative effect on the density and hardness of the deposits. It was also observed that the phases of the Ti-6Al-4V deposits were altered by producing vanadium oxide due to the high temperature of the spray jet.
