Penn State University received a three-year, $568,745 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation under the Engineering (47.041) federal grant program.
The award will support research titled "Functionally Graded Metallic Materials by Directed Energy Deposition Additive Manufacturing: Computational Design, Fabrication and Validation" from May 2021 through April 2024. The research aims to advance the computational design and additive manufacturing of functionally graded metallic materials using directed energy deposition techniques. Researchers will develop computational models to design graded material microstructures and validate the models by fabricating test specimens for mechanical property evaluation. Findings are intended to improve design and fabrication of graded metallic materials for applications in the aerospace, automotive and biomedical industries.
