Research abstract
Triton's fiber reinforced copper composites (FRCC) offer performance benefits that match or exceed the properties of current beryllium-copper alloy components. The value to the Navy is further enhanced in that these composites can utilize different fiber reinforcement materials and preform architectures to effectively tune the desired properties of strength, conductivity, stiffness, elongation, weight and wear to meet the application requirements. During Phase I, Triton proposes to fabricate and test several material designs for tensile and compressive strength. The goal is to achieve a minimum of 180ksi with at least one of the formulations while maintaining the desired hardness, and fatigue life and thermal characteristics.
