Materials Transition
Abstract
This project develops and demonstrates advanced materials and processing technologies for fielded and planned Air Force weapon, airframe, and propulsion applications. Advanced materials and processes that have matured beyond applied research are characterized, critical data are collected, and critical evaluations in the proposed operating environment are performed. These design and scale-up data improve the overall affordability of promising materials and processing technologies, providing needed initial incentives for their industrial development.
