Deposition for the Production of Structure.
Abstract
Investigation was initiated to determine the feasibility of depositing free-standing structures from represent tive advanced metals and alloys applicable to both current and future aerospace vehicle designs. The literature and technology survey has proceeded well and will be soon concluded. The most promising deposition processes are vapor deposition, electrode-position, electrophoresis, combinations of the latter two, and metal spraying. Preliminary material studies indicate that nickel-base superalloys and molybdenum and tantalum refractory alloys have very high application potentail for the selected structure deposition processes. Anticipated fabrication and processing problems, supported by basic laboratory experiments, are being cataloged and analyzed. (Author)
