Project Number (JTEG Assigned) | MC-07-0002 |
Project Title | Cold Spray/Kinetic Processing |
Service | Marine Corps |
Command | LOGCOM |
Implementation Depot | Barstow |
Project Lead | Greg Russell (229) 639-8072 gregory.russell.ctr@usmc.mil |
TI Goals Supported | P-1, C-2, S-3 |
Focus Area | Metal Working |
Platform General | Ground Vehicle (Tracked or Wheeled) |
Platform Specific | All ground vehicles and workload |
Implemented Technology | Kinetic spray application equipment |
Problem Definition |
Current thermal spray technologies that are in use in the depots must overcome several shortcomings (heat input, lack of mobility, applications, etc.). Depots need a repair process that is effective for varied applications, is inexpensive, portable and easy to operate. |
Proposed Solution |
Develop kinetic spray combinations for use in various corrosive environments and a subsequent application process in a viable, relatively portable manner to reduce corrosion damages to vehicles thereby allowing for longer field use and less overall maintenance. |
Expected Result | Improved repair and corrosion capability. |
Benefits | Provide depot with portable metal working technology |

Start FY | FY07 |
Completion Date | FY09 |
WIP | Yes |
Implemented | No |
Comments | Equipment has not yet been budgeted. |
