This report covers progress in novel concepts for the | |
development and implementation of Intelligent Processing | |
of Materials (IPM) in the production of advanced | |
materials, with special emphasis on defense applications. | |
IPM is inherently a multidisciplinary effort, combining | |
the latest in materials processing knowledge in the form | |
of process models, novel, in-situ process sensors, and | |
emerging control theory for adaptive control of highly | |
nonlinear processes. The concepts reported below have | |
been studied to assess their value in streamlining the | |
development of new methods for establishing regions of | |
process variable space which are inherently stable, | |
thereby reducing the laborious and experimentally | |
intensive task of process design for production of | |
advanced materials, and to a distributed simulation | |
environment known as the Virtual Factory for rapid | |
prototyping of intelligent control systems, which was | |
originally developed in a parallel research project | |
sponsored by ARPA through NIST. Finally, these new | |
techniques, concepts and capabilities have been applied | |
to the processing of advanced materials for military | |
applications, including near net shape forming of | |
titanium alloy powders to form shaped parts | |
representative of gas turbine engine components, and the | |
growth of single crystal infrared detector materials | |
based upon calmium zinc telluride, which is the | |
substrated material for infrared focal plane arrays. | |
These efforts have been conducted by BDM scientists and | |
engineers, in conjunction with leading university | |
research from MIT and the University of California, Santa | |
Barbara (UCSB). | |
