Virginia Tech-led project uses additive manufacturing to develop self-lubricating alloys for extreme heat

Researchers from Virginia Tech, Arizona State University and Iowa State University have received a $2 million grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) to develop self-lubricating, wear-resistant metal alloys for extreme-temperature applications. The project will use additive manufacturing alongside computational modelling, high-throughput testing and machine learning to identify alloys capable of maintaining structural strength…
