    摘要: A shrouded impeller for centrifugal compressors, and methods for manufacturing shrouded impellers for centrifugal compressors are provided. In one embodiment, the method includes manufacturing an impeller base, then depositing by cold spraying at least one layer of metallic material on the surface of the frontal part of the impeller corresponding to the shroud of the impeller and machining the impeller to complete and finish the structure thereof. The at least one layer deposited by cold spraying may include grooves adapted to optimize the dynamic behavior of the impeller by modifying and tuning the local natural frequencies.
