Key Details
Official Description
The Navy has demonstrated within its laboratories that a composite ceramic exhibiting IR transparency can be produced with distinct phases, microstructural feature sizes below 100 nm in all phases, and porosity content below 0.1% on component parts as large as 0.4 inch in lateral dimension. Phase identity, crystal structure, phase chemistry, microstructure feature size, and porosity content were established via X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) cross-sections with en...
