C-130 Flight Control Surfaces Depaint Process Optimization

Abstract

Southwest Research Institute, acting on behalf of the Air Force Coating Technology Integration Office (CTIO), has conducted a test program of a plastic media blast (PMB) process proposed by Ogden Air Logistics Center (OO-ALC) for coatings removal on substrates consisting of spot welded, thin alloy materials. Specifically, the substrates under consideration for this assessment are C-130 flight control surfaces, and are fabricated with 0.016 inch, 2024-T3, clad aluminum.
