This Project Grant award from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) under CFDA 77.008 - U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Scholarship and Fellowship Program provides $500,000.00 in funding to the University of Pittsburgh to research "DRASTICALLY REDUCING VARIATION OF MELT POOL AND MICROSTRUCTURE IN LASER POWDER BED FUSION ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING VIA SCAN-RESOLVED-SIMULATION-BASED FEEDBACK-FEEDFORWARD CONTROL". The 3-year project, commencing on Nov 29, 2024, will investigate advanced control techniques to improve the consistency of melt pool characteristics and microstructure in laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing processes. As a major federal grant recipient, the University of Pittsburgh leverages its expertise in materials science, engineering, and computational modeling to address key challenges in nuclear-related advanced manufacturing technologies.
