The University of Pittsburgh received a $399,997 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), awarded May 1, 2026, with completion targeted for April 30, 2029. The primary deliverable is fundamental research and knowledge development on a high-throughput, complex-plasma-based manufacturing process for bonding dissimilar metals. Specifically, the project will generate scientific understanding of the process-structure-properties relationship for microwave-generated plasma technology that enables joining of dissimilar metallic materials while significantly reducing manufacturing time and energy consumption. The research outcomes are intended to produce materials capable of withstanding extreme service conditions, including high temperatures and corrosive environments while maintaining strength and thermal conductivity, with direct applications to advanced energy systems and aerospace components such as fusion reactor structures and hypersonic aviation shielding materials. As a broader impact component, the award funds an educational outreach initiative delivering hands-on training to thirty high school science teachers from Northwestern Pennsylvania through three annual hybrid summer workshops. Teachers will gain practical experience and foundational knowledge in electromagnetic microwave interactions with materials, thereby strengthening STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) workforce development and enhancing public understanding of the underlying manufacturing science. This educational component supports the NSF Engineering program's emphasis on workforce development alongside technical innovation to advance U.S. competitiveness in advanced manufacturing and national security.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
