About this opportunity
Navy SBIR topic — under DoW SBIR 2026 BAA (Solicitation 26.BZ, Release 5) — Accepting submissions 2026-08-26 to 2026-09-23. Objective: Develop a simple, cost-effective, and portable touch-up applicator for performing electrolytic conversion coating repairs to provide a robust corrosion protective coating for aerospace aluminum components and structures. Description: Corrosion protection for aerospace aluminum primarily relies on two inorganic coatings: chromate conversion coating and anodize coatings. Anodizing provides a superior barrier against corrosion, especially in harsh salt-water environments. In contrast, chromate conversion coatings (e.g., Alodine, Iridite) offer less protection but are significantly easier to apply, requiring a simple, non-electrolytic chemical application. This...
