Metals Processing/Processing Science. Work Order Directive (WUD) 49

摘要

A wide range of research related to the deformation, solidification, and vapor processing of materials of importance to the Air Force was conducted under this Work Unit Directive. The primary theme of all of the research was to establish the physics of materials behavior during processing and to exploit this knowledge to improve existing processes and develop new processes. The important results are discussed in the following sections on intermetallic alloys, conventional alloys, advanced modeling tools, composite materials/ thermal barrier coatings, and novel processes.
