Cold Spray (CS) is a solid-state deposition repair method that deposits 1-50um powder particles onto a substrate. A compressed gas acts as carrier to accelerate the particles through a converging-diverging nozzle to the substrate at supersonic speeds. Critical impact velocity is the velocity that is required to achieve sufficient bonding. CS process parameters as well as powder properties can be adjusted to achieve such velocities. The type of carrier gas will also change the spray velocity. Helium has the lowest molecular weight which allows for higher gas and particle velocity upon impact.

Cold spray (CS) is being use in both civil aviation and military aircraft fleets as a method for repairing obsolete or damaged parts mainly for dimensional repair. There is ongoing research by the United States Office of Naval Research examining the corrosion and mechanical property equivalency of CS repairs on aluminum alloys for structural applications on aircraft. Recent testing has shown that CS repairs of fatigue sample geometries with 15-30% blend outs are able to improve fatigue life to near that of an undamaged fatigue sample at two stress ratios. Tensile coupons with 15% CS repairs have also shown tensile properties within 90% of wrought material for two alloy systems. Other material property investigations, including corrosion, using this repair process are underway. Another key item requiring understanding for using cold spray on aircraft repair is the corrosion development and how it compared to conventional alloys. These combined results are critical to showing CS can be used to complete repairs of structural aircraft components.

The need for corrosion mitigation and repair is a perennial concern for a wide array of industries. An attractive evolution in coatings application for mitigating the effects of environmental/operational degradation is cold spray of metallic replacement layers. As cold spray technologies continue to become more commonplace, portable, low-pressure cold spray systems presents an opportunity to bring metallic repair to the field for heavily damaged or corroded assets.

Two component Epoxy polymer systems have been used as the basis for high performance protective coating systems since the 1950s. Numerous Epoxy resin types and ambient condition curing agents are available today which allow great flexibility in the formulation of coating products. This has led to the development of a wide range of applications ranging from simple anticorrosive systems to high performance heat and chemical resistant coatings and linings.

Corrosion-related losses represent approximately 30% of the hydrocarbons extraction and treatment industry's failures, with a total annual cost of US$ 1.372 billion. The oil&gas industry has widely recognized the importance of implementing effective prediction and management systems to reduce costs and guarantee compliance with safety, health, and environmental regulations. In this context, it is safe to narrow the oilfield corrosion problem mainly towards the two most severe degradation cases observed during operation: the sweet CO₂-related and H₂S-related corrosion.
