Standardization in Coating Evaluation: A Universal System for Repair Coatings

From IMR Test Labs
 

 

With the many Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM's) criteria for evaluation of thermal spray materials, laboratories are forced to have multiple criteria/systems to test and analyze coatings. As airlines/repair shops are moving towards overhaul of more variable engine types/models in their shops, the need to have a common evaluation system has been identified and is currently being addressed. A sub-committee of the European Airline Committee for Materials Technology is currently working to formulate this common system for coating evaluation. Participants are from GEAE, Pratt & Whitney, Rolls Royce, SNECMA and KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. The progress and goals of this group will be documented and reported.
