Improved Domestic Aluminum Alloys for Protection of Armored & Tactical Vehicles (Army)
Abstract
Qualifies both C79 and AA2060 alloys as weld-able under MIL SPECs for acquisition. These alloys offer improved ballistics, improved forging for production of complex components, and inherent stress corrosion cracking resistance, which makes these materials possible candidates for use in the Ground Combat Vehicle, the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, USMC Amphibious Combat Vehicle, and new production M2 Bradleys and Armored Multipurpose Vehicles.
