Status of High Temperature Resistant Thermal Spray Nonskid Coatings Within the U.S. Navy

Status of High Temperature Resistant Thermal Spray Nonskid Coatings Within the U.S. Navy
Available for download

The U.S. Navy has determined that thermal spray coatings can be used as an alternative to traditional epoxy based nonskid coatings under high temperature applications to extend service life. Traditional nonskid coatings break down under the stresses leading to loss of adhesion, deck corrosion and reduced slip resistance. Using a twin-wire arc spray system, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) successfully applied an aluminum-based ceramic-metallic thermal spray material on the flight deck of USS Wasp (LHD 1).

Traditional nonskid coatings break down under the stresses leading to loss of adhesion, deck corrosion and reduced slip resistance. Using a twin-wire arc spray system, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) successfully applied an aluminum-based ceramic-metallic thermal spray material on the flight deck of USS Wasp (LHD 1). The two demonstration areas on the USS Wasp have undergone two separate sea trials of the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) F-35B variant, with a total of over 100 landings with no indications of break down. While the benefits of the thermal spray nonskid system have already been realized on USS Wasp, NRL has several programs currently underway to optimize the technology. Robotic application units are being implemented to eliminate human error, improve productivity, and reduce costs. Alternative thermal spray wire materials are being tested for improved performance with reduced cost. Proper application procedures, repair procedures and quality assurance requirements are being generated as part of a specification package. By using these rigorous standards and lessons learned from laboratory testing and field demonstrations, NRL intends, hopefully, to provide the Navy with a ten year service life high temperature resistant
