The study conducted comparative tests of coatings deposited on St3sp steel plates using Cold Gas Dynamic Spraying (CGDS) method. The experiments were carried out using a “Dimet – 405” system. Ready-made powder mixtures were chosen as the material for spraying: nickel N3-00-02 and zinc Z-00-11. After deposition, the samples were subjected to mechanical and corrosion tests. As a result of visual inspection, metallographic examination, analysis of corrosion rates and mechanical tests, zinc-based coatings demonstrated superior to nickel-based coatings corrosion properties, while nickel-based coatings have shown higher resistance to cracking during bending.
