Organic Finishing Technologies B-52 Paint Life Cycle Extension

Abstract

Overview: Objective/approach, Results from Laboratory Testing and Field Evaluations, and Summary. B-52 paint Life Cycle Extension. Objective: Determine if current coating system performance is sufficient to eliminate the four year scuff sand and overcoat while maintaining effective corrosion protection. Approach: Gather baseline data for B-52 refinishing process, Identify coating performance requirements and nondestructive inspection techniques, Document performance of current coatings in the laboratory and the field, and Provide recommendation based on results.
