Processes for repairing erosion resistant coatings

摘要

A process for applying erosion resistant coatings includes the steps of applying (36) a fluoroelastomer based solution to at least a portion of at least one perforated surface (12) of an article (10), at least one perforated surface includes a plurality of perforations, and each of the perforations (14) has a pre-coating diameter of no less than about 0.025 inches (0.635 mm) and no greater than about 0.075 inches (1.905 mm); drying (38) at least one perforated surface (12) coated with the fluoroelastomer based solution; and curing (42) at least one perforated surface (12) coated with the fluoroelastomer based solution to form an erosion resistant coating.
