Research abstract
Boron fiber reinforced magnesium (B-Mg) metal matrix composites (MMC) exhibit excellent weight specific properties outperforming all composite and metallic materials. In addition, these B-Mg materials offer a broad range of forming approaches that are not feasible with most MMC processing. In this SBIR program, Triton Systems, Inc. (Triton) will demonstrate B-Mg composites can exceed the aggressive performance requirements of modulus (22 msi) and tensile strength (180 ksi) at a density less than 0.14lb/in3 and be manufactured using economical and scalable processing. In the Phase I, Triton will fabricate and test B-Mg composites using low pressure casting to verify baseline Army defined mechanical properties. In addition, Triton will model and develop affordable processing approaches to form both large and complex configurations.
