Investigation of mechanical properties of copper and aluminum covetics using nanoindentation
… Metals, LLC (TMM). Covetics involve copper, aluminum, tin, zinc, silver, gold and other metals or their alloys which are infused with a high weight percent of carbon powder (up to 10 %). The amount of carbon in covetics far exceeds the solubility limits of these metals and carbon. The …

Development and Prototype Validation of an Additive Manufactured Cubesat Propulsion Tank
… the AlSi10Mg material is stronger than a billet Aluminum 6061 T-6. The maximum operating pressure of the propulsion tank is 160 psi and the pressure the tank ruptured is 410 psi proves that FEA correctly predicted a factor of safety of 2.10. The results also proved that the propulsion tank was …

Experimental study of elasto-plastic wave propagation in one-dimensional and two-dimensional disk arrays
… of disks in contact. The disks are made of aluminum 6061 T6 and are selected because of their rate-independence, thus allowing static contact force-displacement laws to be used in the dynamic case. Although differing considerably between each other, the loading magnitudes in the drop tower …

The Effect of Tool Rotation Speed and Clamping on Deformation in Friction Stir Welded 6061-T6511 Aluminum Extrusions
… was used to perform Bead on Plate (BOP) welds on 6061-T6511 aluminum extrusions. Using a DOE approach, tool rotation speed, clamp spacing, and clamping force were altered to ascertain their effects on distortion in the welded panels. Mechanical forces were monitored during the weld process. Both …
