In-Field Repair for Maritime Hardware Using High-Pressure Cold Spray

The US Navy has adopted High-Pressure Cold Spray (HPCS) as a repair technique for corroded and worn components in their fleet of aircrafts, ships, and submarines. HPCS repairs are not only used for depositing corrosion and wear resistant coatings but is being successfully used for dimensional restoration in metal parts and components. By utilizing HPCS, the Navy ensures the longevity and reliability of critical components, even in harsh environments. Whether safeguarding against corrosion or restoring worn parts, HPCS is playing an increasingly critical role in maintaining operational readiness for the US Navy and other DOD agencies, as well as the commercial industry.
