Research abstract
Optomec and its industry partners propose applying Optomec's proprietary laser engineered net shape (LENS) additive manufacturing technology and methodology to the fabrication of refractory metal components. These fabrications are related to the post-boost control system (PBCS) hot-gas valves and manifold components for the D5 Trident II missile. Phase I activities will involve process development and preliminary characterization of LENS deposited test specimens and sub-scale exemplars for at least two refractory metal alloys of interest to the Navy for feasibility demonstration purposes.
