THIS IS A CONTINUATION OF N00014-14-1-0641 Titanium Bonded TiB2 Lattice Materials
Abstract
These funds are for Dr. Haydn Wadley, University of Virginia, PI. The planned research program will begin by developing micromechanics based models that enable prediction of the relations between lattice stiffness, strength, toughness, thermal conductivity and density interms of the specific design and properties of the materials used for lattice fabrication. Mechanical and thermal property data needed for the analysis will be experimentally measured on test coupons fabricated by the preferred method of processing. The program willdevelop a low cost route for the synthesis of ultra-strong TiB2/Ti composites configured as the trusses of an octet lattice structure. This effort will focus upon the use of a spark plasma sintering based approach. Equipment for this is being procured with funds from the previous ONR award and University of Virginia sources. Funds to procure additional equipment for powder particle preparation and mixing are included in this new proposal.
