Research abstract
QuesTek Innovations will continue to pursue its approach of ausforming Ferrium® M54® to adapt it for personal armor applications. Technical feasibility was demonstrated during the Phase I program through novel material processing at an intermediate scale, characterization, and testing. Phase II will involve full scale production of material as well as the development of process-structure-property relationships, and the design and development of a novel armor architecture that meets the needs of the US Army.
