The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) to develop a novel approach for the synthesis of thermally stable nanocrystalline aluminum (Al) based alloys. Specifically, a powder-based synthesis process would be utilized to fabricate alloys that meet targeted material parameters (e.g. strength, thermal stability). The project would be completed over two Budget Periods (BPs). This NEPA Determination will be applicable to all project activities for both BPs.
