Potentila non-NASA applications include thermal stir welding of high strength and temperature alloys for aerospace applicatioons; specifically, military aqnd commercial gtas turbine engines. Non-aerospace applications include component welding for chemical processing and heat exchangers industries.
Solid-state welding of high strength and temperature alloys is required to support the Constallization and NASA ARES systems. Specifically, haynes 230 is a high strength and high temperature alloy utilized in the engine nozzel skirt. The proposed Phase II STTR program will complete process development on this alloy and produce experimental components for testing and evaluation by NASA.
