Description
The following tasks are to be executed by the contractor in support of NAVAIR Materials Engineering Division AIR 4.3.4 and NAVSEA 04X3 Tactical Innovation Implementation Laboratory (TIIL). These tasks are in support of evaluating high pressure cold spray technology for the repair of A356 and E357 cast components, allowing the dimensional restoration and return to service of the components. The tasks also support further research and development of Cold Spray application machinery at Norfolk Naval Shipyard to aid in the Navy’s adaption of Cold Spray technology. The research, development, acquisition, and support of the Cold Spray technologies are critical to reduce vessel maintenance and increase Ao for Navy assets.
