Arizona State University (ASU), through its Office of Research and Sponsored Projects Administration (Orspa), received a $350,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Directorate for Engineering (CFDA 47.041) awarded on August 1, 2026, with a completion date of July 31, 2029. The award funds fundamental research investigating the role of annealing heat treatment in tailoring the microstructure and mechanical properties of additively manufactured (AM) metal matrix composites (MMCs). Research activities focus on elucidating microstructural evolution mechanisms, including thermal misfit stress relaxation, reinforcement reprecipitation, dislocation recovery, grain evolution, and chemical redistribution, to advance scientific understanding of the relationships between annealing conditions, resulting microstructural changes, and material performance properties. The outcomes of this research are expected to enable improved control and predictability of AM MMC behavior and performance, with direct applications benefiting aerospace, biomedical, and defense sectors where high-performance AM MMCs are increasingly critical. By addressing the knowledge gap regarding annealing effects on AM-fabricated composites—a less-studied area compared to annealing of conventional AM metals—this project supports national economic competitiveness, health, and security objectives while reducing material waste and manufacturing lead times associated with near-net-shape component fabrication.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
