Metals Processing and Fabrication
Abstract
The primary technical goal of the Metals Processing and Fabrication activity is to develop affordable, robust manufacturing and repair processes/capabilities for metals and special materials critical to Navy weapon system applications. Major areas that support this objective include: processing methods, special materials, joining, machining, coating/cladding, assembly, and inspection and compliance resulting in reduced cost of fabrication for components. Emphasis is on affordability for the following platforms: VIRGINIA Class Submarine (VCS)/COLUMBIA Class Submarine (CLB), DDG 51 Class Destroyer, CVN 78 Class Carrier, Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), and CH-53K Heavy Lift Helicopter. This activity also includes the development, optimization, and transition of repair technology for the repair, overhaul, and sustainment of key navy systems.
