Currently available cast Al alloys are not suitable for various high-performance conductor applications, such as rotor, inverter, windings, busbar, heat exchangers/sinks, etc.

The invented alloys are a new family of Al-Mg alloys. This new family of Al-based alloys demonstrate an excellent ductility (10 ± 2 % elongation) despite the high content of impurities commonly observed in recycled aluminum.

In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.

The invention describes a configuration of dishwasher using thermoelectric heat pumps that can accomplish energy savings and enhanced drying performance.

This invention aims to develop a new feature for a heat pump water heater having a forced flow condenser, coupled with a mixing valve, and a new feature to maximize the first hour rating and provide quick response to hot water demand, comparable to a typical gas water heater.&

Develop an innovative refrigerator having a thermoelectric cooler cascaded with a regular refrigerator compression system. the TE cooler dedicatedly controls the temperature in a freezer compartment.

A new nanostructured bainitic steel with accelerated kinetics for bainite formation at 200 C was designed using a coupled CALPHAD, machine learning, and data mining approach.

Lean-burn natural gas (NG) engines are a preferred choice for the hard-to-electrify sectors for higher efficiency and lower NOx emissions, but methane slip can be a challenge.

Using all polymer formulations, the PIP densification is improved almost 70% over traditional preceramic polymers and PIP material leading to cost and times saving for densifying ceramic composites made from powder or fibers.

Sensing of additive manufacturing processes promises to facilitate detailed quality inspection at scales that have seldom been seen in traditional manufacturing processes.
