Applied Coatings Extend Service Lives of Critical Aerospace Components
820611
A new coating process, GATOR-GARD®, uses a high temperature, high velocity ionized gas to deposit metal or ceramic particles on substrate materials. These uniformly heated particles are deposited at velocities in excess of 4,000 feet per second ensuring a high density, well bonded coating tailored for resistance to wear, erosion, oxidation and sulfidation. The unique structure of GATOR-GARD applied coatings provides the exceptional wear resistance necessary to increase aircraft engine component service lives in particularly harsh environments.
