Stronger Steel Parts for Improved Weapons and Military Supply Chain






Is it really going to be this easy? Recall that a ufo envelope is a multilayer of almost atomic metals and graphene as well.  One dispaired of how we could make this.  Now we actually know and we are close to doing it all.


UFO manufacturing can be done here rather than in space which is a great blessing obviously.

This also makes gravity devices much closer to realization as well..


Stronger Steel Parts for Improved Weapons and Military Supply Chain 


Brian Wang | May 1








The US Army Research Laboratory has a new way to print durable steel parts on-demand and has feedstock more than 50 percent stronger than what’s commercially available. Printed parts could become the standard for future systems with superior capabilities.

Additive manufacturing cuts back the weight of certain parts which can increase the range, blast size, and guidance technology of future munitions. This capability is being pioneered for the Long Range Precision Fire (LRPF) rocket, missile, and artillery rounds that fire at longer distances.




New lighter-weight printed parts can be used to rearrange the explosive components of a missile and increase overall lethality.




Enhanced 3D printing capabilities is using a specialized steel alloy powder called AF-96. AF-96 was developed by the U.S. Air Force for bunker-busting bomb applications.




The metal printer’s laser carefully melts the powder into a pattern. Then the printer overlays the powder onto the build plate and repeats the process until the part is complete. The microstructure can create more alloys that will work better and have a lower cost. Expensive cobalt and tungsten are not needed.




The printed parts can also be used to shorten wait time to repair old systems.




They have 3D printed AF96 impeller fans, which are used to cool the fan motor in a tank engine. The fans controlling the temperature of the Abrams tank. The ability to remotely 3D print AF96 parts will reduce the strain on the army’s logistics chain.
