Fiscal Year: 2008Title: Development of Cad Plating Replacement with Zinc Nickel on High Strength Steel ComponentsAgency / Branch: DOD / USAFContract: FA8201-08-C-0054Award Amount: $749,948.00
Abstract:
Landing gear components manufactured from high strength steel alloys require sacrificial protective coatings to perform safely in service. Cadmium has been the standard coating for such components for decades, but is a known carcinogen and has been targeted for elimination by the USAF. An experimental Zn-Ni coating was tested in Phase I as a replacement for cadmium. Results showed the Zn-Ni coating had comparable performance to cadmium in the areas of corrosion, fatigue, and hydrogen embrittlement (HE) testing. Phase II testing will further investigate the Zn-Ni coating performance in the areas of fatigue, corrosion, and HE. Additionally, phase II testing will investigate adhesion properties, brush plating (damage repair), and hydrogen re-embrittlement performance. Production parameters such as accelerated HE testing and optimal tank chemistry will be developed. ES3 also proposes to implement a full scale tank to demonstrate plating on full size landing gear parts in a DoD depot environmentSmall Business Information at Submission:(ES3) ENGINEERING & SOFTWARE SYSTEM SOLU
