Repair of damaged ion vapor deposition aluminum (IVD-Al) on aircraft components generally requires the use of brush plating with hazardous materials including cadmium. This paper describes a cold spray process that uses aluminum transition metals to make such repairs. The aluminum layers are applied with a handheld cold spray gun and tested according to JTP-2003 requirements for corrosion resistant coatings on steel components.
