Abstract Comparative studies on the intermetallic compound (IMC) formations of small (aggregated) and large Sn (irregular) with Ni and Cu in cold gas dynamic sprayed coatings were carried out. The Sn with high purity were selected and prepared as raw materials mixture in order to be sprayed onto Ni and Cu plate-shape substrates. The small particles of Sn (
