Lightweight Structures for Future Interceptors
SBC: TOUCHSTONE RESEARCH LABORATORY, LTD. Topic: MDA18006Touchstone Research Laboratory proposes to develop fiber reinforced aluminum (FRA) metal matrix composite components to replace those that were originally made from Ti-6-4. It was proven that the FRA is able to outperform titanium at temperatures up to 1000°F. Given the increase in elevated temperature strength, the components may be made with reduced material usage, leading to weight savings. Ph ...
