Progressive Surface’s EB-PVD (Electron Beam Physical Vapor Deposition) coating removal system removes thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) from aircraft components and the masking tooling used during the EB-PVD process. Chemical processes used for coating removal tend to break a tool down over time, making it brittle and even causing it to crack at its welds. By contrast, waterjet stripping is able to run at much faster cycle times and is much gentler on tooling than other coating removal methods, allowing the tooling to be reused more times.
