This SBIR Phase I contract was awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Shared Services Center to Plasma Processes, LLC, a small business that specializes in materials solutions for industrial applications. The contract, valued at $124,838.00, is for a parameters-characterization-properties study to demonstrate the feasibility of using electron beam melting additive manufacturing to produce high-strength niobium alloys for NASA's Reaction Control System (RCS) chambers. The goal is to develop a higher-strength alloy that can take advantage of the net-shape forming capability of additive manufacturing while overcoming the lack of formability of such high-strength alloys. This work is intended to ultimately enable the fabrication of a higher-strength niobium alloy RCS chamber. The contract is part of the SBIR program, which sets aside federal research and development funding for small businesses.
