This $1,175,000 federal Project Grant awarded by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) under the Congressionally-Identified Projects program (CFDA 11.617) supports Baylor University's acquisition of new materials characterization equipment. The instrumentation includes an X-ray diffraction system and a flash thermographer testing system to be installed at the university's Materials Testing and Characterization Core Facility. This equipment will enable Baylor researchers to develop new measurement science, standards, and technologies, with a focus on studying materials produced through additive manufacturing. The grant also allows Baylor to provide local small and medium-sized businesses access to the acquired instrumentation to support their materials testing and qualification needs. The award period runs from August 1, 2024 to July 31, 2025.
