Abstract

World events have emphasized the importance of developing light weight, high-performance materials, especially those that can be used in armor and blast resistance structures. Recent work at Penn State's Applied Research Laboratory has produced some high performance aluminum alloys. These materials, produced by Spray Metal Forming, have superior properties which have shown potential for use in military vehicles to provide light-weight ballistic protection.
