Defense Intelligence Reference Document Metallic Glasses For Aerospace Applications
Defense Intelligence Agency · 30 pages · text from the file's own layer
The Defense Intelligence Agency issued this Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIA-08-0911-012), dated 14 December 2009, as one of its FY 2009 advanced technology reports under the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications (AAWSA) Program. It reviews how metallic glasses are structured and processed, their mechanical properties, and metallic glass matrix composites. It concludes that dendritic composites could replace high-strength steels in some aerospace parts. It adds that wide aerospace use depends critically on developing new lightweight glass-forming alloys.
