Technology Insertion for Recapitalization of Legacy Systems

Abstract

The Technology Insertion for Recapitalization of Legacy Systems program consists of two yearlong phases of multiple projects. Phase 1 consists of A) Effect of Corrosion on Physical Properties of Highly Stressed Coated Components, B) Asset Life-cycle Management: Data Needs and Data Gaps Assessment, and C) Subsystem and Component Reliability Synthesis Methodology. Phase 2 consists of D) Suppressing Martensite Formation during Welding of Cast Iron, E) Corrosion Resistant Pin-Joints, and F) Seal Surface Repair using Additive Manufacturing. This report addresses the progress on Phase 1. Under the Corrosion program (A), RIT has identified a remanufacturing process for coated components, as follows: 1) The component coating is to be machined to a minimal thickness without engaging the metal, 2) The coating and corrosion will be removed with a laser, 3) pits will be mechanically removed and the component shot peened, and 4) an Abcite coating will be flame sprayed on the component. The ALCM program (B) has 1) evaluated data provided, 2) gathered questions for analysis, 3) identified gaps in the data, and 4) begun analysis to try to fill the gaps. The Reliability program (C) has 1) built a model framework, 2) evaluated multi-objective optimization methods, and 3) built models of a suspension system for analysis.
