Arizona State University received a $549,994 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation (Engineering program, CFDA 47.041), effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2031. The award funds the development of a multi-physics computational framework designed to predict and prevent process-induced interfacial cracking in multi-metal additive manufacturing. The primary deliverable is a rigorously validated predictive model that integrates multicomponent heat and mass transport, grain-scale crystal plasticity, and fracture mechanics to understand crack formation mechanisms at dissimilar-metal interfaces. The research employs two representative alloy systems—Cu-10Sn/904L stainless steel and Ti-6Al-4V/AlSi10Mg—to isolate distinct cracking mechanisms and validate the framework across different metallurgical regimes, addressing critical barriers to industrial adoption of multi-metal additive manufacturing in aerospace, energy, biomedical, and defense applications. In addition to research deliverables, the award integrates education and workforce development activities designed to engage K-12 students, undergraduates, and graduate researchers. Educational products include hands-on design-to-manufacture challenges and a new forensic learning framework emphasizing evidence-based reasoning, creativity, and critical thinking. These integrated research, education, and outreach components support broader national competitiveness in advanced manufacturing while contributing to STEM workforce development across multiple educational levels.Federal Grant Award Summary
