Marat Latypov, an assistant professor at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering, has been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to study the impact of impurities on the microstructure and mechanical behavior of aluminum alloys. The project aims to advance understanding and design of recycled aluminum alloys that can maintain high mechanical performance, reducing the need for carbon-intensive primary aluminum production.
- The grant combines experiments, simulations, and machine learning to understand how impurities affect aluminum alloys' microstructure and damage behavior.
- The research will provide insights to minimize the use of primary aluminum and promote closed-loop recycling, benefiting both the environment and industry.
- The project also includes an educational program to promote computational literacy and attract applied mathematics students to the field of materials science.
- The findings of this project will not only apply to aluminum alloys but also to the design of other advanced structural materials like steels.
