This Project Grant award of $400,000.00 from the National Science Foundation's Engineering program (CFDA 47.041) supports fundamental research at Oregon State University to develop a new, cost-effective processing method that creates carefully designed patterns of shear bands in metallic glasses. The goal is to enhance the ductility and enable structural control of these advanced materials, broadening their application potential for engineering technologies. The research aims to overcome the brittleness and sudden failure limitations of metallic glasses that have hindered their widespread commercialization since their discovery in the 1960s. By tailoring the internal structure of metallic glasses using this novel laboratory-scale processing technique, the project contributes to strengthening U.S. manufacturing capabilities and advancing national goals in science, innovation, and economic competitiveness. University students involved in this research will also gain valuable training for future careers in advanced materials and manufacturing.
