ALMMII - Hypersonics Thermal Management Research - Phase 2
Abstract
The program funded under this effort has the goal of continuing the development of new materials and related joining technology suitable for hypersonic vehicles. Of critical importance is the ability to optimize materials for hypersonic usage and to join dissimilar materials utilized in these structures with advanced joining technology such as solid-state welding. LIFT will build on past projects to study new and advanced metallic alloys, ceramic and CMC materials. Materials will be developed in the virtual/simulation environment with ICME (Integrated Computational Materials Engineering) models. Materials will be tested to evaluate and confirm physical properties, to calibrate the ICME models, and to correlate ICME-predicted properties and subsequent part performance. This will ensure the accuracy of results in future application usage. From LIFTs material database, these models will be accessible by manufacturers and suppliers to the Army, Air Force and Navy. Selected dissimilarmaterials will also be joined using advanced joining technology and evaluated for joint integrity. Parameters for optimized joining will be added to the material database. The combination of studies on materials and their joining will bring new tools to the warfighter at greater speed and lower cost.
