Lightweight Durable Titanium Tracks Using Low Cost Powder Metal Titanium Composite Technology.

摘要

The results of Phase I demonstrated the technical feasibility of this advanced powder metal titanium composite technology to find applications in lightweight tank track components, particularly as a material for center guides. The titanium composite materials have demonstrated wear resistance far superior to conventional titanium alloys and surpassing the wear characteristics achieved with more highly reinforced and less tough Al/SiC MMCs and ADI.
