Design Principles

Material: Grade 5 ELI (Grade 23) for manned submersible pressure hulls requiring extreme fracture toughness with minimum weight. Grade 5 for manipulator arms, sensor housings, and release mechanisms needing hig

Form: Heavy forging + superplastic forming for pressure hull segments. Deep-hole boring of solid bar for camera/sensor housings. 5-axis CNC or SLM 3D printing for manipulator knuckles and complex brackets.

Engineering Trends

  • ▸ Process: Vacuum-arc remelting (VAR) of ELI-grade ingots
  • ▸ Process: Superplastic forming of spherical hull segments
