Optimizing the integrity and performance of highly engineered surfaces and structures requires the ability to visualize and understand material behavior over multiple length and time scales from a three-dimensional perspective. The Electron Microscopy Centre at the University of Manchester is equipped for such work as demonstrated in problem-solving scenarios involving multiscale imaging and analysis of the progression of intergranular corrosion in Al alloy 2024, the catalytic effect of silver nanoparticles in seawater, recrystallization in a volume element of a bronze alloy, and defect progression on graphene surfaces.

This article describes the research grant application process, explains funding considerations, and provides application advice. A key factor is that proposals must target research that meets a scientific U.S. Air Force technology need.

This article describes research at Los Alamos National Laboratory that is aimed at building a coupled experimental and computational methodology that supports the development of predictive damage capabilities by: (1) capturing real distributions of microstructural features from real material and implementing them as digitally generated microstructures in damage model development, and (2) distilling structure-property information to link microstructural details to damage evolution under a multitude of loading states.

Researchers at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) use a combination of scanning and transmission electron microscopy, atom probe tomography, and focused ion beam milling to analyze corrosion and crack structures in light-water reactor components with near-atomic spatial resolution.

Induction hardening parts with small grain size achieves higher fracture strengths, but close control of thermal cycles is required to prevent grain growth.

Stony Brook celebrates a milestone by reflecting on its Center for Thermal Spray Research from the early years of growth and expansion to the development of an industrial consortium.

This article explains how SEM, TEM, and atom probe tomography are being used in the development of additively manufactured high-entropy alloys (HEAs), revealing critical features such as anisotropic microstructure and metallurgical defects. It also discusses ongoing efforts to improve the predictability and analysis of HEA microstructure using data-driven approaches.

Affordable bulk production of a newly developed nanostructured bainitic steel is possible without using severe deformation or complex heat treatments. This article discusses the characteristics and significance of nanostructured bainite in terms of the transformation mechanism.

Osaka University established the Center for Dissimilar Custom Design and Additive Manufacturing Research & Development to connect research-based AM with industrial implementation. It recently established another specialized AM research group at its new Anisotropic Design & Additive Manufacturing Research Center, which will further develop AM technology via an industry-academia collaboration. In this article, Hideyuki Kanematsu talks with Takayoshi Nakano, director of Osaka University’s newest research hub, about the center’s goals as well as the latest prospects for AM technology in Japan.

The evolution of carbon nanotube composites, as inspired by the Materials Genome Initiative, unlocks new potential for materials sustainability in challenging deep space applications. This article describes research and development work at the Institute for Ultra-Strong Composites by Computational Design (US-COMP), a NASA Space Technology Research Institute consortium. US-COMP has developed a novel composite material with mechanical properties per unit mass that exceed state-of-the-art structural composites.
