Materials – Fitting Technology for Industry
With a remit to develop leading edge materials for the MoD, Dstl’s commitment has resulted in major advances in the field of applied material science.
Super Bainite Steel is just one example developed closely with industry and now currently available for license. Beyond its original armour requirement, the high-hardness applications are wide ranging.
Brief summaries of our specialist solutions are given below, and you can also download information sheets in pdf format (just enter your email address when prompted to initiate the required document download).
Anionic Exchange Membrane
There is an ongoing requirement to provide advanced power sources for military applications. This includes the development of alkaline fuel cells incorporating novel anionic exchange membranes whose high performance has application beyond fuel cells.
Flexible Bracket
A flexible bracket originally developed for attaching armour to a vehicle, to facilitate resilient support of such armour during vehicle manoeuvre but it’s potential applications are much wider. For more details: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
Super Bainite Armour Steel
Super Bainite steel is a high performance armour steel, following live fire trials it has been demonstrated to have a hardness matching that of alternative high hardness armour steels, and some ceramic armours, at a much reduced cost.
