| Researchers at Purdue University have developed a new fabrication process for hypersonic components for aerospace and military and defense applications. There is a growing need for ultra-high melting, mechanically robust, thermal-shock resistant, and oxidation-resistant materials for advanced components in hypersonic devices in extreme environments. In addition to identifying these unique materials, cost-effective manufacturing methods are needed to generate components with desired microstructural characteristics in complex and high-precision shapes to optimize aerodynamic performance. Current manufacturing techniques often are incapable of reproducing hypersonic components without causing shrinkage and shape distortions. Purdue researchers have developed a cost-effective process for converting easily-shaped preforms into ultra-high melting, robust near net-shaped hypersonic structures. Advantages: -Precise Control Over Component Shape -Cost Effective -Ultra High Temperature Materials Potential Applications: -Aerospace -Military and Defense |
