Electro-Spark Deposited Coatings for Replacement of Chrome Electroplating

Abstract

Electro-spark deposited (ESD) coating processes were investigated for line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) applications under this Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program Task PP-1147. Apparatus necessary for NLOS ESD applications were developed by Pacific Northwest National Laboratories. Fatigue debits due to application of ESD coatings on reduced section specimens were investigated. A follow-on Environmental Science and Technology Certification Program task resulted from this work and ESD has now been used and is now available for use at Anniston Army Depot, but so far only for LOS applications.
