Unique chamber brings real-world corrosion test capabilities to AFRL
Air Force Research Laboratory contractor David Borth of the University of Dayton Research Institute demonstrates the computer-controlled adjustment of test parameters for the newly-installed Accelerated Combined-Effects Simulation test chamber. The ACES chamber enhances corrosion test capabilities by allowing AFRL researchers to recreate the broad range of environmental conditions under which military assets operate.

Unique chamber brings real-world corrosion test capabilities to AFRL
The one-of-a-kind Accelerated Combined-Effects Simulation test chamber enhances Air Force Research Laboratory corrosion test capabilities, by enabling researchers to recreate the broad range of environmental conditions under which military assets operate, including UV radiation, temperature, humidity, and various gaseous environments.

Unique chamber brings real-world corrosion test capabilities to AFRL
The scribed test sample on the left represents the traditional method of corrosion testing, in which researchers etch through both topcoat and primer layers to simulate damage and resulting corrosion. The new Accelerated Combined-Effects Simulation test chamber enables more realistic full-scale testing of specimens similar to the one on the right, by simultaneously subjecting samples to realistic fatigue testing and environmental conditions.

AFRL helps extend serviceability of hydraulic aircraft components
AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate engineer Brian Shivers helps develop and test a new visual inspection procedure to determine the difference between acceptable chafing into cold spray-applied protective coating and wear into underlying B-1 hydraulic tubing. AFRL helped develop, test, and validate the cold spray coating process for the life extension of B-1 aircraft hydraulic lines. (U.S. Air Force photo/John McClure).

Laboratory-produced examples of chafing into a titanium tube, one of many tests conducted by AFRL researchers to replicate wear through cold-spray applied coating into tubing material beneath. AFRL helped develop, test, and validate the cold spray coating process for the life extension of B-1 aircraft hydraulic lines. (U.S. Air Force photo/John McClure).
AFRL engineer reflects on career, family legacy in aerospace
Hans Multhopp Sr. (left), at the former Glenn L. Martin Company, where he was a pioneer in aircraft design working closely with Air Force researchers. His son, Air Force Research Laboratory engineer Dieter Multhopp, is retiring in August 2019 from a 40-year career during which he also contributed to many experimental aircraft.

AFRL, NASA partner on aerospace physiology to spin into next era of space travel
During the two-day testing with NASA and Boeing astronauts Nov. 1 and 2, the centrifuge spins with one of the astronauts inside. This new centrifuge is the Department of Defense’s only human-rated centrifuge with interchangeable cockpits, a capability that enabled NASA and AFRL engineers to create the astronauts' cockpit.

AFRL branch builds a LEGACY in mentoring
Madisen Millender was one of five LEGACY (Leadership Experience Growing Apprenticeships Committed to Youth) students who worked in the AFRL Materials and Manufacturing Directorate Materials Integrity Branch during the summer of 2018. The branch received the LEGACY Mentor of the Year award for their support of the student internship program. (U.S. Air Force Photo/David Dixon)
AFRL team looks to solve fatigue issues for C-5 crew members
A lightweight and foldable seat is one of two initial prototype designs created by Air Force Research Laboratory researchers in an effort to implement a safer and less fatiguing way for Air Force crew members to perform flight duties. (U.S. Air Force photo by JD Bales)
