Navy Characterization of Covetic Aluminum.

ADA552586

Publication Date	2011
Personal Author	Forrest, D. R.
Page Count	20
Abstract	There is a new class of materials: Covetic--third millennium metals, nanoscale carbon phase, chemically bound to metal in a way we still need to understand; probably a new nano-effect, increased thermal conductivity, Al and Cu. NSWCCD has verified some of the claims--increased strength for same work hardening and increased electrical conductivity in Al. Possible lightweight aluminum armor--more testing needed.
