Support won for tungsten alloy joining project MATERIALS Processing, Inc., (MPI) of Fort Worth, TX, USA has been awarded a Phase II SBIR Grant from US Air Force. The project will be funded by the A i r Force Research Laboratory and is entitled "Joining of Advanced Tungsten Alloys". The aim of this investigation is to fabri-
cate large tungsten heavy alloy structures through innovative joining technology. Smaller sections of liquid phase sintered tungsten heavy alloys which are extensively used in the ordnance sector and as radiation shields, will be joined together to form larger structures with good joint integrity.
The grant of over half a million US dollar is for the purpose of carrying out R&D work in this area.
