The Alcoa Government Affairs team and the New Kensington Technology Center researchers are working on a project to develop high-speed deposition gas-protected metal arc welding technology for shipbuilding to save the Navy's shipbuilding costs. Under the current shipbuilding plan, the total cost savings could be as high as $200 million.
High-speed deposition gas protection Metal arc welding is a semi-automatic welding technique that reduces the number of weld passes, thereby reducing labor costs and improving weld quality. The technology will be used on offshore combat ships and may be used on the Navy's joint high-speed ships and other aluminum alloy ships.
In the past year, Alcoa has received a $8 million R&D contract to develop lighter, faster, stronger and more efficient equipment for the military through the application of advanced materials, design and manufacturing techniques.
