A successful combination of insulating substrates with conducting metal coatings produced by cold spraying could open new industrial application areas like the fabrication of power electronic components. For minimizing the number of industrial process steps, insulating ceramic layers should ideally be processed by thermal spray techniques. Thus, this study investigates the impact behavior and coating formation of ductile metallic feedstock powders onto brittle ceramic coatings. With respect to high electrical conductivity of the metallic lines and good electrical insulation of the ceramic interlayer, copper was cold gas sprayed on previously thermally sprayed Al2O3 coatings. Successful cold coating formation requires different strategies for the activation of the ceramic layer to increase adhesion and to avoid brittle failure. These both can be achieved either by applying a bondcoat on the ceramic layer or using heated substrates during the cold spray process.
