This $100,387 federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program. The grant supports fundamental research investigating the mechanisms by which microstructural features control the nucleation and growth of grain boundary precipitates in aluminum-magnesium (Al-Mg) alloys. The research aims to establish the contributions of specific microstructural features to the sensitization process in these alloys, which can lead to catastrophic failures. The findings will guide the development of new material processing strategies to mitigate sensitization and extend the service life of Al-Mg alloys used extensively in critical transportation and energy infrastructure. The award also includes education and outreach efforts to introduce materials science concepts in interdisciplinary contexts. The project will be performed by the University of Cincinnati over a 5-year period from August 2025 to July 2030.
