Knowledge Data Base for Amorphous Metals
Abstract
The program drew experts associated with thermal sprayed amorphous metals from the DARPA sponsored Naval Advanced Amorphous Coating (NAAC) program, developers from the DARPA sponsored Accelerated Insertion of Materials initiative (N00421-01-3-0098), and computing specialists from Object Computing Incorporated to recommend a framework for a knowledge data base for amorphous metal coatings to reduce risk and accelerate transition of the technology among materials suppliers, laboratories/technical specialists, thermal spray operators, inspectors, and program managers. A workshop was held on 26 April 2007 for to explore needs, work shed the workflow/process, develop recommendations, and set priorities. Microsoft Access was utilized to pilot the recommendations and further refine inspection sequences for the thermal spray process, and detail and demonstrate tracking (including shipping) and pedigree of the material, processes, coupons, plates, and coating installation on ship deck applications. The data base is for thermal spray coatings so it is applicable beyond NAAC.
