The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) awarded a $219,754.75 training grant contract to The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) on August 1, 2018. The contract aims to develop a thermodynamic database covering the Al-Cr-Fe-Mo-Ni-Ti-V material system to enable the design of functionally graded materials (FGMs) produced through additive manufacturing. Penn State will leverage first-principles calculations and the open-source ESPEI software to generate the CALPHAD parameterizations needed for this multicomponent database. This database can then be used to design FGM gradient paths that avoid detrimental phases, facilitating the transition between common additive manufacturing alloys like Ti, Ti-6Al-4V, stainless steels, Invar, and Inconel. The contract does not have a set-aside designation.
