Projects/Active

JG-PP partnered with the DoD's ESTCP, the HCAT, and the OEMs to demonstrate/validate this project. The goal of ESTCP is to demonstrate and validate promising, innovative technologies/processes/materials that target the DoD's most urgent environmental needs. By use of a coordinated effort, ESTCP advances can lead to successful JG-PP technology transitions that will provide cost effective, environmental technology solutions for both the DoD and the U.S. industrial base. Visit the ESTCP website for additional information on the project's purpose, description, and benefits.

The primary objective of the Chromium Electroplating Alternatives for Helicopter Dynamic Components project is to reduce or eliminate EHC plating operations by validating and implementing HVOF thermal spraying coatings. Other objectives of this project are to demonstrate reduced repair turnaround time for dynamic components, and to decrease the repair frequency of the components by demonstrating superior performance of the HVOF coatings. JG-PP is partnering with the HCAT on this project. The OEM leads include Bell Helicopter, Boeing, and Sikorsky Aircraft. The depot leads include FRC-E (fka NADEP Cherry Point) and Corpus Christi Army Depot.
