Section C - Description/Specifications/Statement of Work

Performance Work Statement (PWS) for

High Temperature, Controlled Atmosphere Furnace Suite

1.0 Background

The Composites Engineering Laboratory at Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division (NAWCWD) China Lake designs, prototypes, and fabricates composite structures using a variety of methods, striving to remain on the cutting edge of composite materials innovation, new application design, and system prototyping capabilities. Many high temperature, extreme environment materials require heat treatment under careful, fine control of chamber temperature and atmosphere. Different furnace designs are suitable for certain materials processing requirements. Factors such as chamber size and shape, materials used in furnace construction and insulation, power supplies, cooling systems, and furnace element type all influence the final capability of each furnace. The furnace suite features specified in this PWS will fulfill materials processing needs for high temperature composite materials, enabling novel material research and development (R&D), particularly for efforts to develop ceramic and metal composites materials suitable for hypersonic radomes, nozzles, leading edges, and other components. These furnaces are critical material processing tools for the workflow of prototyping additive manufacturing (AM) parts made of ceramic and metal composites. AM material development enables more efficient use of materials, greater capability to test small batches of research materials reducing initial risk, decreased environmental impact through reduced material waste, more complex geometry potential and more consistent composite part production due to AM layer-by-layer build process, and increased potential to successfully transition developed R&D materials and processing methods from lab scale to full scale production.

1.1 Scope

NAWCWD intends to procure a suite of high temperature, controlled atmosphere furnaces in support of current and future capability for metal and ceramic-based composite materials research, development, testing, processing, and production. The furnaces will heat treat metal and ceramic composite test articles and small- to mid-scale proof of concept parts. The Composites Lab routinely prototypes parts of different composite materials and requires high temperature, controlled atmosphere furnaces within its laboratory workflow.
