    Abstract: In an aspect, a method of forming a coating on a busbar comprises cold spraying a powder comprising a plurality of metal particles onto the busbar at a velocity sufficiently high to cause the plurality of metal particles to deform upon contact with the busbar thereby forming the coating on the busbar; wherein the plurality of metal particles comprises greater than or equal to 50 weight percent of at least one of nickel, tin, silver, zinc, or copper based on the total weight of the metal particles; and wherein the coating has an average thickness of greater than or equal to 10 micrometers. In another aspect, a coated busbar is formed by cold spraying.
