Next-Generation Advanced Ammunition Alloy Production Technologies

该项目旨在通过提供合金解决方案来解决澳大利亚弹药供应链和安全的主要不足，该解决方案能够绕过目前从国外进口的半成品能源密集型弹药生产步骤。通过采用一系列创新的新合金设计方法，从根本上解决合金的强度、可加工性和浇注性，该项目希望提供符合澳大利亚现代经济生产技术的更高性能的弹匣合金，而现有的弹匣黄铜是不可能的。这将提供一个灵活、具有成本竞争力和安全的主权弹药供应链，同时提高弹药性能。

This project aims to address a major shortfall in Australia’s ammunition supply chain and security by providing alloy solutions that enable the bypassing of the energy-intensive ammunition production steps currently imported from foreign nations as semi-finished products. By using a range of innovative new alloy design approaches that fundamentally address alloy strength, workability and castability, this project expects to provide higher performance cartridge alloys amenable to modern economic production technologies available within Australia simply not possible with existing cartridge brass. This shall provide a flexible, cost-competitive and secure sovereign ammunition supply chain while simultaneously improving ammunition performance.
