Georgia Southern University Research & Service Foundation Inc. received a $195,574 two-year Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation under the Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.041). The award supports fundamental research to understand the austenite grain refinement mechanism in nickel-alloyed ductile irons, with the goal of developing an economical in-situ grain refinement process to improve the strength and toughness of ductile iron castings. Researchers will conduct metallurgical and materials analysis on experimental alloys to determine if select elemental additions can refine austenite microstructure during solidification by promoting heterogeneous nucleation or impeding grain growth. Outcomes aim to enable production of higher strength-to-mass ratio ductile iron components for applications in automotive, construction, and other industries.
