- This $359,907 three-year project grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program will support research by the University of Alabama to characterize the chemical short-range order in multi-principal element alloys (MPEAs), also known as high-entropy alloys. The research aims to evaluate two key hypotheses: 1) that short-range order in MPEAs reaches a stable state independent of fabrication conditions, and 2) that the relaxation...
This $112,988 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's 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 research focuses on developing new alloy design methods that can achieve both high-temperature strength and improved room-temperature ductility and strain hardenability in this class of materials. The project, led by Clemson University, integrates experimental, computational, and data-driven techniques, including combinatorial synthesis, advanced in-situ experiments, atomistic and mesoscale simulations, and machine learning-guided discovery. The research objectives are to (1) understand dislocation dynamics for solid-solution strengthening at both room and high temperatures, and (2) enable nano-scale transformation-induced plasticity and twinning effects to improve the mechanical properties of RMPEAs. This 4-year project aims to train a new generation of materials scientists and foster international collaboration with partners in India.
