This federal contract award is a $486,129.00 grant from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) to the University of Alabama Office for Sponsored Programs Division, a non-profit educational institution. The grant is for a research program to develop, test, and characterize tungsten (W) and tungsten-zirconium carbide (W-ZrC) coatings on surrogate nuclear fuel powders, using physical vapor deposition (PVD) techniques like magnetron sputtering. The coatings are intended to provide barrier protection for nuclear thrust propulsion materials from the surrounding environment. The research will evaluate the stability and performance of the core-shell powders and composite billets under thermal cycling, mechanical loading, and hot hydrogen testing. The program involves collaborations between the University and industrial partners. No set-aside designation was used for this grant award.
