CAREER: Microstructural Influences on the Diffusion Paths Controlling Nucleation and Growt — NSF Award to University of Cincinnati

NON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Aluminum-Magnesium (Al-Mg) alloys are commonly used as a lightweight alternative to steel in transportation applications and exposed infrastructure due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, weldability, and some of the highest resistances to corrosion damage amongst aluminum alloys.

AbstractNON-TECHNICAL SUMMARY Aluminum-Magnesium (Al-Mg) alloys are commonly used as a lightweight alternative to steel in transportation applications and exposed infrastructure due to their excellent strength-to-weight ratio, weldability, and some of the highest resistances to corrosion damage amongst aluminum alloys. Prolonged exposure to elevated temperatures, however, leads these alloys to develop a serious problem known as sensitization that can eventually result in catastrophic failures. This proj
