Highlights: • The effect of high-temperature rate-dependent response of BCC Ta on the deposition state of kinetic sprayed Ta particles with synergistic effect of powder oxidation • Abnormal increase of dislocation density above certain powder preheating temperature under the lower condition (N{sub 2} carrier gas), whereas considerable occurrence of grain refinement under the higher condition (He carrier gas). • Most significant dislocation density with the smallest volume-averaged domain size under the condition of 600 {sup o}C powder pre-heating with N{sub 2} carrier gas due to characteristic response of Ta. - Abstract: Numerous efforts have been focused on the fundamental research regarding kinetic spraying processes, but previous studies were biased to only few kinds of metallic materials. In particular, for Ta with body-centered cubic crystal structure, systematic studies are currently lacking in the literature. In this study, the characteristic deposition behaviors, microstructures, and mechanical properties of kinetic sprayed Ta under various impact conditions were systematically investigated. Generally, unusual features were usually related to strain-rate-dependent response (i.e. Peierls-Nabarro short range barriers) of Ta at high-temperature. This made thermal softening effect to be saturated above a certain degree of temperature, contributing to inferior deposition efficiency for the pre-heating at 600 °C than those of 400 and 500 °C by creating synergy with powder oxidation. In terms of microstructural evolutions, the dislocation density was abnormally increased at a certain powder preheating temperature (i.e., 600 °C), owing to the strain-rate-dependent response of Ta at high-temperature. On the other hand, grain refinement generated by rotational dynamic recrystallization was mainly observed under the higher kinetic energy condition (He carrier gas) at RT. Especially, the dislocation density and volume-average domain size evaluated via high-resolution X-ray diffraction peak profile analysis were corresponding to the results of the microstructural observations. Additionally, the nanomechanical properties (i.e., nanohardness and elastic modulus) evaluated via nanoindentation tests were in good agreement with the results from transmission electron microscopy investigations.
