Design and fabrication of impact resistant functionally graded materials by 3D printing
Abstract
The overall program will include a 3 year effort consisting 3 tasks at one year durations. Initial efforts within year-1 include exploring processing parameters for creating metal-metal FGMs using the Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies, developing process parameters for creating of uniform monolithic metal deposition, establish processing bounds and post-processing steps for the FGM.Year-2 will determine at least three FGM architectures that will be fabricated from metal A and metal B then characterized to include gas gun and ballistic testing. Modeling and simulation will guide architecture design.Year-3 will explore processing parameters for creating metal-ceramic FGMs using the Hybrid Manufacturing Technologies AMBIT directed energy deposition system. Candidate ceramics will be researched by developing process parameters for creating uniform monolithic deposition of ceramics.
