DURIP: In situ Solute and Grain Character Mapping of Nanocrystalline Alloys at Elevated Temperatures using Sub-Second Heating Capability
Abstract
The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) is designed to improve the capabilities of U.S. Universities to conduct research and to educate scientists and engineers in selected technical areas of importance to national defense. DURIP funding provides for the acquisition of research equipment and instrumentation for this purpose. This proposal is for the purchase of rapid thermal annealing unit and a rapid x-ray energy dispersive spectroscopy detector. The P.I., Professor Greg Thompson, of the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa, will use the equipment to augment and enhance research capabilities in the area of nanocrystalline materials, providing for the first time direct real-time quantification of specific grain types that are stabilized or destabilized under annealing with respect to solute additions.
