Metal Matrix Composites (Graphite-Aluminum Wire) Phase I.

Abstract

The objectives of the program were to (1) develop a production process to produce rayon precursor graphite-aluminum wire with a capacity of 1000 lbs. per year in accordance with Naval Sea Systems Command development specification for metal-matrix composites MTP-114, dated 13 January 1975, (2) optimize the process for the design of a single unit that would produce 2000 lbs. of polyacrylonitrile (PAN) graphite-aluminum wire per year, and (3) demonstrate the 1000 lb. per year production process by producing 100 lbs. of graphite-aluminum wire.
