The new technology will help cut down on turnaround times for aircraft maintenance as well as expenses, says US Navy Engineer.
The new technology will help cut down on turnaround times for aircraft maintenance as well as expenses, according to a press release by the U.S. Navy on Friday."With this mobile, autonomous cold spray system, we'll be bringing repair capabilities closer to the aircraft," explained Jessica Templeton, the Air Vehicle and Materials Engineering lead with the Naval Air Systems Command Fleet Support Team's Advanced Technology and Innovation Team at FRCE.
The technology is being fielded on the H-1 line at the depot's detachment on board Marine Corps Air Station New River after years of rigorous testing and evaluation.In order to deposit a coating onto a surface or substrate, the cold spray technique joins metal to metal in a setting with relatively little heat.
By applying a lasting metallic alloy coating to surfaces, cold spray is utilized in aviation applications to repair aircraft components like shafts, gearboxes, and skid tubes.In some situations, this coating can fill abrasions or gouges, while in others, it might serve as protective shielding. Due to the finite size restrictions on the components that can be treated in the booths, it is frequently necessary to remove aircraft parts before spraying them, or the components' size prevents them from being sprayed at all.
