HOT ISOSTATIC PRESS FOR ADVANCED MANUFACTURING AND MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT
Abstract
The next generation of materials and manufacturing technologies that the DOD needs for theNavy, Air Force and Army will be facing extreme challenges and boundary conditions, requiringfast-forward design and structures. Fundamental and applied research in materials developmentrequires techniques that provide a wide range of temperature and pressures to 1) develop newformulations; 2) achieve full densification, complex geometries and component assembly; and 3)generate new data collections to enable the next generation of material concepts and technologiesfor ensuring this Nation~s Technology Superiority.Our multi-disciplinary team at VT is seeking the acquisition of a Hot Isostatic Press (HIP) tocreate an open access lab/node (VT HIP) and enable the next generation of material research toserve the DOD mission by the in-house comprehensive and efficient development of all classes ofmaterials and hybrid composites, complete sets of properties data and beyond lab-scale results.Our strength and thrust in materials understanding, development and manufacturing will be ableto generate new HIP-enabled research to contribute to several research programs and portfolios atONR, AFOSR and ARO. HIP will complement our unique set of dedicated facilities fordevelopment, processing, manufacturing, testing, characterization and modeling, and establish ourleadership at the National Level in Emerging Materials and Manufacturing Technologies andcontinue our long-term service to the DOD mission.
