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...
This Project Grant award of $104,060 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program supports a research and education project led by Drexel University. The project aims to develop a framework for understanding the behavior of dislocations and their impact on the mechanical properties of concentrated solid-solution alloys, which have unique atomic-scale features that affect material deformation. The research integrates statistical theories,...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a 3-year, $390,000 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) to Iowa State University to conduct a fundamental, in-situ quantitative study of coupled severe plastic deformation, nanostructure evolution, and phase transformations in titanium, titanium-zirconium alloys, and an aluminum-iron-cobalt-nickel-copper high entropy alloy.

This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049) will fund research to understand the effects of interstitial elements like carbon and boron on the mechanical properties of high-entropy alloys. The $179,728 award to Trustees of Dartmouth College will support studies to quantify the phenomenology and underlying micromechanisms of this interstitial strengthening effect. The research will involve characterizing the defect structure and dislocation behavior in single crystals, as well as determining the impact of interstitials on the lattice and segregation to dislocations. The work will leverage advanced techniques like in-situ electron microscopy, neutron diffraction, and atom probe tomography. No sub-awards are planned under this grant, which has an ultimate completion date of November 30, 2028.
