Abstract:
A process for producing a munitions structure includes combining two or more transition metals including one or more of Zr, Hf, Ti, Ta, or Nb, and one or more other elements as alloying additions. The process further includes heating and fusing together the two or more transition metals and the one or more alloying additions to form a homogenous molten alloy. The homogenous molten alloy is cooled in a metallic mold to form a solid object with a desired shape for the munitions structure.
