DURIP: Acquisition of a Medium-Scale Arc Melting and Casting System with Atomizer for On-Demand Alloy Synthesis
Abstract
Publicly Releasable Project Summary / Abstract:Faculty in the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at Penn State requestsupport for a medium-scale arc melting and casting system with atomization capabilities. The instrumentation will enable rapid synthesis of alloys with highly controlled compositions, accelerating material discovery and optimization, and enabling fundamental studies of deformation mechanisms. The system will enhance both currently-sponsored and planned Department of Defense (DoD) research programs throughout the department. Research thrusts that will be enhanced or enabled with this instrument include: i) additive and advanced manufacturing of functionally graded materials and new alloys, ii) development of novel compositionally-complex alloy systems (including multi-principal element), and iii) fundamental studies of alloy mechanical behavior including fracture and fatigue processes. The system will support both graduate and undergraduate workforce training and development efforts in the department in line with DoD goals.Program Manager: Jennifer Wolk
