Characterization and Fatigue and Tensile Testing of Additive JBK-75 Alloy

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is seeking a contractor to perform characterization and fatigue and tensile testing of additive JBK-75 alloy. The work will support NASA-led technology development projects, particularly in aerospace applications such as liquid rocket propulsion systems and large-scale space exploration structures. The contractor will be required to complete detailed characterization and analysis of mechanical test data, conduct literature reviews, and summarize and document all mechanical test and characterization results. The contractor will also be required to perform initial characterization, thermal state characterization, mechanical testing, and post-mechanical test fractography. • The contractor will work with third-party test service companies to address testing questions and non-conformances. • The contractor will attend bi-monthly meetings to discuss updates, results, and progress with NASA personnel. • The contractor will complete detailed reports in the form of NASA Technical Memorandum, journal articles, conference papers, or other publicly available reports for each alloy and task listed in Table 1. • The contractor will maintain an organized dataset in an accessible online database, including summary and raw test data and relevant post-test characterization data.
