This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program provides $931,544 to Northwestern University and its sub-awardee to develop analytical and numerical models of aqueous passivation of binary alloys through collaborative research. The award period is from August 1, 2022 through July 31, 2025. The project aims to further the scientific understanding of oxide formation processes during alloy corrosion using simulations, experiments, and multimodal characterization techniques. Researchers will examine the effects of alloy crystal structure, composition, chemical ordering, and electrolyte composition on passivation and corrosion resistance. Insights gained will inform the design of next-generation corrosion-resistant metallic alloys. The project also includes workforce development initiatives to broaden participation in materials electrochemistry and corrosion science fields.
