This $108,007 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Materials Research aims to develop reliable predictive models for understanding the oxidation behavior of high-entropy alloy nanoparticles. The project, which began on September 15, 2024 and will conclude by August 31, 2025, leverages experimental and computational datasets along with targeted nanoparticle synthesis to gain fundamental knowledge on how elemental segregation and migration impact the...
This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) provides $849,832 to Arizona State University for research on aqueous passivation of binary alloys from August 1, 2022 to July 31, 2025. The university will collaborate with partners to develop analytical and numerical models of alloy passivation through experimental validation and quantum mechanical simulations. Researchers will examine how factors like alloy crystal structure,...
This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research to understand the phenomenology and micromechanisms of interstitial strengthening in face-centered cubic (FCC) high-entropy alloys (HEAs) and medium-entropy alloys (MEAs). The $179,728 award to Trustees of Dartmouth College will fund experiments to determine the effects of interstitials like carbon and boron on the mechanical properties and...

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...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $299,741 project grant under the Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) to The University of Kentucky Research Foundation. The purpose of this two-year grant, effective February 1, 2025 through January 31, 2027, is to advance the understanding of resilient high entropy alloys (HEAs) capable of effectively mitigating high-velocity impact loads. The research will involve conducting high-velocity impact experiments at velocities up to 2 km/s,...
This $359,907 three-year project grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research by the University of Alabama to characterize the chemical short-range order in multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs), also known as high-entropy alloys. The research aims to evaluate two key hypotheses: 1) that short-range order in MPEAs reaches a stable state independent of fabrication conditions, and 2) that the relaxation...
The National Science Foundation awarded the University of Illinois a $150,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to conduct collaborative research on nanoscale structural and compositional instability-driven ductility in refractory high-entropy alloys. The research will develop an atomic-level understanding of how the manufacturing of refractory high-entropy alloys relates to their ductility and tensile strength properties. It will also seek to...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $439,464 Project Grant to the University of Miami under the NSF Directorate for Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) to design, synthesize, and optimize new high entropy alloy (HEA) electrocatalysts for use in electrochemical advanced oxidation processes (EAOPs) to treat organic micropollutants in municipal wastewater. The project aims to leverage the unique properties of HEAs, such as high strength and corrosion resistance, to develop more stable,...
This $524,534 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research funds a collaborative research effort between The Johns Hopkins University and the University of California, Santa Barbara to elucidate high temperature deformation mechanisms in refractory multi-principal-element alloys. The research aims to develop a fundamental scientific understanding of the ultrahigh temperature (up to 1500°C) mechanical behavior of this new class of alloy...
This Project Grant award of $100,387.00 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Division of Materials Research under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) supports research into the fundamental mechanisms controlling the sensitization process in aluminum-magnesium (Al-Mg) alloys. The primary objectives are to investigate how microstructural features influence the nucleation and growth of grain boundary precipitates that lead to increased susceptibility to...
