Project Grant 2104933

The University of California, Los Angeles will receive $441,850 from the National Science Foundation under a Project Grant award titled "UNDERSTANDING AND CONTROLLING LOW ANGLE GRAIN BOUNDARIES IN ADDITIVELY MANUFACTURED METALS." The award period is from August 1, 2021 to July 31, 2024. The funding supports research within the NSF's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), which aims to promote progress in these scientific fields and strengthen the national scientific enterprise. Specifically, the University will investigate understanding and controlling low angle grain boundaries in additively manufactured metals through this funding. The research is expected to enhance knowledge of materials fabrication techniques and microstructures.
