Titanium Based Liquid metal Alloy for Advanced Aerospace Applications

2 recipients will receive $1,350,000. This is a first-time earmark.
Year Enacted: 2005
Description: This effort identified bulk amorphous titanium alloy compositions with high glass formability and developed melting, casting and processing techniques to optimize alloy microstructure. Microstructural optimization required controlled devitrification of crystalline regions within an amorphous matrix and processing to achieve the balance of microstructural features required for the increased ductility necessary in naval aircraft applications. This class of alloys could offer very high strength to weight ratios for use as structural members in naval aircraft, if the damage tolerance of these materials can be improved significantly.
