Research abstract
QuesTek Innovations will continue to pursue its approach of ausforming Ferrium® M54® to adapt it for personal armor applications. Scale-up of a novel material processing method was achieved during Phase II, and promising properties were recorded. This sequential Phase II program will involve investigating methods to lightweight the existing technology to further improve its performance. In addition, understanding of process-structure-property relationships will continue to be developed, and expand into other techniques which may be implemented during this program.
