Texas A&m Engineering Experiment Station

The Department of Materials Science and Engineering of Texas A&m University Will Carry Out the Following in Collaboration With Nasa Glenn Research Center (GRC) on Low Temperature Shape Memory Alloys (LTSMAS) on a Best Effort Basis. the Potential Ltsmas Will Include But Not Limited to Niti-based Cu-based Fe-based and Beta-ti Alloy Based Smas. the Project Execution and the Tasks Will Be Regularly Discussed With the Nasa - GRC Employees in Order to Assure Satisfactory Progress and Adjust Priorities as Necessary. the Main Goals of This Contract Are to: 1) Identify Novel Ltsmas Compositions Covering Broad Chemistry of Binary Ternary and Quaternary Alloys With Actuation Capability Below 0 C in Particular One Group Chemistries for Martensitic Transformation Ranges Between 0 C and -100 C and Another Group for Martensitic Transformation Ranges Between -200 C and -100 C; 2) Experimentally Validate the Alloy Chemistry Suggestions and Develop Ltsmas for Targeted Transformation Temperatures; 3) Experimentally Determine Their Shape Memory and Superelasticity Characteristics; and 4) Optimize Their Microstructures in Particular Precipitates to Further Control Their Martensitic Transformation Characteristics. the Literature Data and Experimental Results Will Be Included in a Database of Ltsmas and Will Be Shared With Nasa-grc.

How to read these numbers

One award, start to finish: Everything here is this single award's whole record — signed, amended, paid — not a fiscal-year slice. The by-year charts elsewhere split an award across the years it was committed; this page keeps it whole.
Committed vs. ceiling: Committed is what the government has legally promised on this award so far. Contracts can also carry a ceiling — the maximum if every option is exercised. Unspent ceiling is headroom, not money owed.
Paid out: The cash actually disbursed against this award. The gap from committed is the disbursement pipeline: promised, not yet cashed.
The ledger: Each transaction is a signing event — an action that created or changed the award, dated the day it was signed — not a payment. Negative amounts are real: money de-committed at closeout or renegotiation.
The money bar: One bar, the award’s whole arithmetic: paid out, then committed, not yet paid, then .
