Description
Grid Logic proposes to develop a fieldable solid state welding process that can join and repair 2000 and 7000 series aluminum alloy components. This solution will be based on a new magnetic pulse welding technology from Grid Logic that permits the cold welding of these alloys without the material degradation problems common in arc fusion welding processes. The efforts primary objective will be to design and demonstrate the feasibility of this welding process on DOD approved target repair geometries. Grid Logic develops advanced manufacturing systems for production and repair of high-performance metallic components. It leverages its strong R&D capabilities to create turnkey manufacturing solutions for DOD and industrial manufacturers.
