The innovative strategies developed through...
This Project Grant award, funded by the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences program (CFDA 47.049), aims to establish a transformative framework for "metastability engineering" in refractory multi-principal element alloys (RMPEAs). The $107,900 award to the University of Oklahoma will support research to simultaneously achieve high-temperature strength and enhanced room-temperature ductility in this new class of metallic materials. The project integrates combinatorial synthesis, advanced in-situ experiments, atomistic and mesoscale simulations, and machine learning to develop novel nano-scale deformation mechanisms that activate improved plasticity. This collaborative research between U.S. and Indian institutions also aims to train a new generation of materials scientists in experimental, computational, and data-driven methods, while supporting international partnerships and outreach.
