Supersonic Particle Deposition Technology for Repair of Magnesium Aircraft Components

Abstract

Summary: Project addresses class of components largely ignored in previous efforts to eliminate processes using Cr(VI). SPD of aluminum alloys part of overall solution to current problems associated with Cr(VI) usage and poor performance of Mg alloy components. Project attributes: Multi-service participation, OEM and contractor logistic support participation, Involvement of major new acquisition program (JSF), International participation, Successful completion of project should lead to substantially reduced life-cycle costs on rotary and fixed-wing aircraft. Once implemented at depots, because of its flexibility, SPD technology will have many other potential applications.
