ABSTRACT
Maintaining the operational readiness of military helicopters demands repair solutions that are fast, reliable, and adaptable. This paper presents the integration of Gamma Alloys' advanced metal matrix composites (MMCs) into additive manufacturing (AM) techniques - specifically Cold Spray and Friction Stir Additive Manufacturing (FSAM) - as a transformative approach to helicopter repair and replace for the US Army.
