Magnesium Repair on Light Weight Aerospace Components

 

Problem

Magnesium components are to difficult to repair due to heat sensitive corrosion reaction.

 

Need

Limited repair options cost the aerospace industry a stockpile of unusable components and the cost issue of replacement parts.

 

Solution

High Pressure Cold Spray Process (HpCS) using Aluminum feedstock to repair worn areas can be easily machined to OEM specifications.

 

Benefits

-Allow stockpile of expensive worn components to be repaired

-High Pressure Cold Spray has a notably superior microstructure and performance characteristics compared to low pressure Cold Spray Systems

-Components are repaired multiple times.
