Iowa State University of Science and Technology has received a $550,000 Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award from the National Science Foundation's Division of Civil, Mechanical, and Manufacturing Innovation under the Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2031. This award supports fundamental research and educational activities aimed at advancing the printability of aluminum alloys through laser powder blown directed energy deposition (L-DED), a metal additive manufacturing technique critical to naval and aerospace applications. The primary deliverables under this award include scientific research to elucidate crack initiation and propagation mechanisms in aluminum alloys processed via L-DED, alongside development of new manufacturing strategies to mitigate solidification cracking, porosity, and residual stress-related defects. Research activities will systematically investigate the interrelationship between macro-cracks and porosities while pursuing strategic in-situ alloying approaches to optimize individual alloying element effects. By addressing key manufacturing challenges that currently limit the widespread industrial deployment of aluminum alloy additive manufacturing, this research is expected to enable increased fuel efficiency and enhanced stress corrosion cracking resistance in structural components for defense and aerospace sectors. The research will be conducted at Iowa State University's facilities in Ames, Iowa.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
