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

Virginia Tech, Arizona State University, and Iowa State University received a $2 million NSF grant to develop self-lubricating metal alloys that can withstand extreme temperatures using additive manufacturing. These new materials will reduce wear and friction in high-heat equipment, extending equipment life and improving performance in demanding construction and industrial applications.

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…
