A COLLABORATION BETWEEN NASA GLENN AND PURDUE MSE IS PROPOSED TO EXAMINE THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH TEMPERATURE OD STRENGTHENED ALLOYS TO BE EMPLOYED IN ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING OF AEROSPACE STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS EXTENDING PRIOR COLLABORATIVE DEVELOPMENT WORK. THE PROJECT WOULD UTILIZE EXPERTISE AND PROCESSING EQUIPMENT AT THE GLENN RESEARCH CENTER TO HELP ASSESS CANDIDATE ALLOYS AND POWDER PROCESSING PARAMETERS IN COMBINATION WITH MICROANALYSIS AND MECHANICAL ASSESSMENTS PERFORMED AT PURDUE BY A GROUP OF SENIOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS. BESIDES THE ALLOY DEVELOPMENT THIS WOULD ENHANCE PERSONNEL INFRASTRUCTURAL DEVELOPMENT BY ALLOWING THE STUDENT GROUP TO INTERACT WITH WORKING ENGINEERS AND SCIENTISTS AND TO EXPERIENCE THE PLANNING PREPARATION AND DEVELOPMENTAL TASKS REQUIRED IN AN OPEN-ENDED PROBLEM FOR ACTUAL NON-ACADEMIC APPLICATIONS.
