High Density Metal-Metal Composites by Deformation Processing Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Sol No.: Navy SBIR FY2008.1 Topic No.: N08-080 Topic Title: High Density Metal-Metal Composites by Deformation Processing Proposal No.: N081-080-1175 Firm: Transition45 Technologies, Inc. 1963 North Main Street Orange, California 92865-4101 Contact: Edward Chen Phone: (714) 283-2118 Abstract: This SBIR Phase I effort examines the feasibility of producing metal-metal high density composite materials with sufficient strength to survive severe shock through mechanical deformation. As with many advanced materials, a critical obstacle to their implementation is very high manufacturing costs, particularly for the starting master alloy billets. To surmount this cost barrier, this Phase I program will examine an innovative, yet affordable and relatively simple mechanical deformation production technology based on compacting and deforming the elementals through step by step processes such as forging and extrusion. Benefits: Low-cost production method for making monolithic and advanced metallic materials for the aerospace, defense, commercial and consumer markets. Return
