    Abstract: A binary or higher order high-density thermodynamically stable nanostructured copper-tantalum based metallic system according to embodiments of the invention may be formed of: a solvent of copper (Cu) metal that comprises 70 to 100 atomic percent (at. %) of the metallic system; and a solute of tantalum (Ta) metal dispersed in the solvent metal, that comprises 0.01 to 15 at. % of the metallic system. The metallic system is thermally stable, with the absence of substantial gross grain growth, such that the internal grain size of the solvent metal is substantially suppressed to no more than about 250 nm at approximately 98% of the melting point temperature of the solvent metal and the solute metal remains substantially uniformly dispersed in the solvent metal at that temperature. Processes for forming these metallic systems may include: subjecting powder metals of solvent and the solute to a high-energy milling process using a high-energy milling device to impart high impact energies to its contents. Due to their high-density thermodynamically stable nanostructured, these metallic systems are an ideal candidate for fabricating shaped charge liners for ordinance.

    Abstract: A nanophase composite duct assembly and method of fabricating the same are provided that comprise an ultra-high strength nanophase aluminum alloy duct joined with a ceramic particulate reinforced metal matrix fitting, preferably using solid-state friction welding. The nanophase aluminum alloy duct is fabricated by extruding a billet formed by a process of cryogenic milling the alloy, followed by out-gassing, then hot isostatic pressing. The fitting is fabricated by combining a ceramic particulate with a metal matrix, preferably by powder processing or liquid metal infiltration. Further, the solid-state friction welding may comprise inertial welding, friction stir welding, or a combination thereof. As a result, a lightweight duct assembly is provided for high-pressure liquids such as propellants in rocket engines.

    Abstract: Methods are disclosed for embrittling scrap metal for comminution and for subsequent or simultaneous treatment of the comminuted metal powder to improve sintering kinetics and prevent oxidation of alloying ingredients. A first embrittling method impacts the scrap metal at a temperature below its ductile-brittle transition temperature to cryogenically provide scrap metal powder. The scrap metal is subjected to two impacting operations (such as by use of a ball milling machine), the first operation being carried out simultaneously with the cryogenic medium and the second impacting operation is carried out at ambient temperature conditions utilizing milling elements which impart cold work to at least a portion of the cryogenic powder. An anti-oxidation agent, such as copper or iron, is mechanically transferred to substantially each particle of said cryogenic powder during the second operation to form a continuous copper or iron envelope thereabout. The coated cryogenic powder is then compacted and sintered; the sintered product may be subjected to hardening or tempering treatments if desired. Also disclosed is a continuous method for carrying out both cryogenic embrittlement impaction, and coating. A mass of liquid N.sub.2 and metal pieces are circulated in a properly oriented tube so that in one zone a true slurry exists with liquid N.sub.2 in intimate contact with the metal pieces; in another zone the metal pieces are withdrawn from the slurry to momentarily increase in temperature. Fragmenting occurs substantially in said one zone and cold-working substantially in said another zone, while progressive anti-oxidation coating of the comminuted particles occurs in both zones.A second embrittling method involves dissolving the carbon in ferrous scrap metal having a critical predetermined carbon content, quenching the metal to produce substantially all martensite, and impacting the treated metal while simultaneously coating with an anti-oxidizing agent.
