Discontinuously Reinforced Metals -- Industry Assessment

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA387132 | Open PDF

Abstract:

This report documents the results of an assessment to determine avenues of development efforts appropriate for discontinuously reinforced metal matrix composites. The assessment followed the successful Title III funded program to productionize the discontinuous reinforced aluminum DRA materials with the desired end result of structural applications in aerospace hardware. This assessment went beyond the DRA materials to search out needs and applications for discontinuous reinforced magnesium, titanium, and high temperature aluminum matrices. The focus for the assessment was to provide AFRLML with aerospace industry interest and concerns which could guide future development activities
