Environmental quality technology demonstration and validation: Toxic Metal Reduction in Surface Finishing of Army Weapon Systems (DEVCOM)
Abstract
Increase operational readiness and reduce Soldier and worker human health risks by reducing or eliminating the use of cancer-causing hexavalent chromium, cadmium and associated toxic materials used in surface finishing processes for the current and future force. These Safer Alternatives for Readiness (SAFR) technologies will be used to provide superior corrosion and wear protection for components used on Future Vertical Lift and Next Generation Combat Vehicles and enable increased performance/extended barrel life for Long Range Precision Fire systems.
