- Description
- This notice is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; offers are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. This notice is being issued as a Request for Quotations (RFQ) for processing of an experimental NiTi-20Hf shape memory alloy developed by NASA Glenn Research Center, with the following specifications. Statement of work: Induction melt (Using VIM-VAR technique) of one 40 lb. heat (minimum) of the following composition: 37.17Ni-17.9Ti-44.93Hf weight % alloy. Casting must use one mold of 4" in diameter formed of 37.17Ni-17Ni-17.9Ti-44.93Hf weight % Cast all materials into one large billet. Requirements: 1. Demonstrated experience in the melting of 37.17Ni-17.9Ti-44.93Hf weight % shape memory alloys is required. A material sample must be made available for characterization by GRC personnel to demonstrate expertise. Sample will need to have strain-temperature properties equivalent or better than that shown Figure 2 and elaborated on in Tables 1 and 2 described in Bigelow et al., Scripta Materialia 64 (2011) 725-728. 2. Melting can only be performed using VIM-VAR technique. 3. Compositional control of Ni-Ti-Hf should be to +/- 0.3% absolute. Aim composition is: 37.17Ni - 17.9Ti - 44.93Hf (weight %). 4. Carbon should be less than 0.015 wt. % / Oxygen should be less than 0.04 wt. %. 5. Martensite start transformation temperature (Ms), should be between 130 - 150 C for material homogenized and aged 550 C / 3 hrs. 6. Best effort basis will be accepted if expertise can be demonstrated in processing of an alloy of this composition as described in 1. The provisions and clauses in the RFQ are those in effect through FAC 2005 - 88 http://nais.nasa.gov/far/.
