This National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Materials Research Project Grant, titled "Collaborative Research: Far-From-Equilibrium Surfaces of High Entropy Alloys: Interplay Between Frictional Sliding and Corrosion Damage", was awarded to Arizona State University on July 15, 2023 for $208,127. The goal of the two-year project is to develop a scientific understanding of the structure and formation mechanism of the surface of high entropy alloys (HEAs) after simultaneous wear and corrosion (tribocorrosion) in chloride-containing aqueous solutions. The research will combine advanced surface characterization tools and multi-scale computer simulations to establish the link between surface defects, deformation, and tribocorrosion susceptibility of HEAs. This research aims to lead to the design of metals with high tribocorrosion resistance for critical applications requiring high wear and corrosion resistance under harsh conditions. The project will also provide graduate students with diverse training in materials science, tribology, corrosion, and computational materials science, as well as collaborative teamwork experience.
