The issues with existing materials

Metal Superalloys

  • Maximum operating
    temperature of ~1500˚C

  • Not resistant to oxidation

  • Difficult to homogenously
    disperse strengtheners and additives

  • Material properties are heavily dependent on processing parameters

  • Thermal expansion mismatch between bulk parts and protection coatings

Carbon Composites

  • Strict processing requirements that typically require many labor-intensive steps

  • Not resistant to oxidation

  • Carbon is an ablative material, meaning it consumes itself as it dissipates energy

  • Continuous fibers don’t allow for additive manufacturing technologies

  • Susceptible to material erosion

Traditional Ceramics

  • Highly brittle, low toughness

  • Low thermal shock resistance

  • Difficult to form net-shape parts of intricate geometries

The Nanoarmor Process Advantage

Lower Processing Temperatures, closer net shape, higher performance

  • Near net-shape pre-sintering, low shrinkage (<5%) post-sintering

  • Fibers, fillers, and nanostructures are easily dispersed for additional customization and reinforcement

  • Near theoretical densities (>95%) in single-step process (no reinfiltration or densification required)

  • Sintering can be performed at ambient pressure and low temperature (<1450˚C)

  • Can produce graded structures to aid in adhesion to vehicle underbody as a thermal protection coating
