Description

Triton Systems, Inc. (Triton) and our Teaming Partners propose to refine forming techniques to produce large Fiber Reinforced Aluminum (FRA) bearing liners. Cast and machined to print FRA products have performed well in wear and endurance testing. Incorporating a forming process that enables larger FRA configurations and near net shaping will enable significant weight savings and reduce part cost to support a variety of platforms. In the Phase I program, a large configuration ring will be demonstrated and tested to verify baseline properties for wear resistance and strength are met.
