Advanced Coatings Application Module (Air Force)
Abstract
To demonstate a state-of-the-art Thermal Spray Coating System. Component life extension and reduced cost of operation can be achieved via the acquisition and qualification of the Canadian manufactured Axial III Advanced Thermal Spray Coating System. Currently wear coatings and thermal barrier coatings are applied on essential parts of many turbojet engine and airframe components using technology that dates back to 1914. The Axial III Advanced Thermal Spray Coating System produces coatings that exhibit superior performance at a fraction of the current price by leveraging recent advancements in spray coating techniques. The Axial III system applies traditional coatings in one-half the time and at one-half the cost of the current systems. In addition to its ability to apply wear resistant coatings, the Axiall III system can apply thermal barrier coatings and modern nano-based coatings at the same ratio of cost savings.
