Rapid Grain Restructuring of Munitions Casings

This effort is significant in that it represents a leap forward in materials processing as well as modernizing legacy defense munitions casings. Phase I will provide a better understanding of the capabilities of processed alloys to improve the properties of the munitions casings. These alloys can create enhanced alloy characteristics by post manufacture processing of legacy components. In addition, this effort will demonstrate the versatile and unique characteristic for manufacturing using our unique processing. Creating materials with superior properties will open up more commercial and military applications for our unique facilities, bringing down the cost significantly. The fabrication process will allow for the production of parts very rapidly, and at lower cost.
