Speech Intercept Intelligibility For Spectrum Supremacy

Triton Systems proposes an innovative method for fabricating cost competitive, low density, high performance titanium aluminide dual-alloy functionally gradient gas turbine engine components for elevated temperature applications. This manufacturing methodis based on Triton's experience with the Laser Engineered Net Shaping (LENS) technology for the fabrication of titanium matrix composites and the laser joining of aluminum matrix composites. In the laser processing, titanium aluminide powder is deliveredthrough a feeder, melted with the laser beam and deposited to build a near-net-shape component layer-by-layer in a manner similar to conventional solid freeform fabrication techniques. Triton is teamed with Laser Fare and Honeywell Engines and Systems toadapt the LENS technology to produce functionally gradient dual-alloy titanium aluminide based components for gas turbine engines, such as impellers, which can be designed with different materials in specific areas. This program will take advantage ofrecent advancements in titanium aluminide materials having significant specific high temperature properties compared with nickel superalloys. This technology will enable gas turbine engine component part designs to be optimized for weight savings withreduced cost by eliminating expensive tooling and at the same time provide a single seamless component.
