NSF-CGP Science and Engineering Fellows Program: Solidification Dynamics and Microstructural Investigation of Plasma Sprayed Coatings

9505360 Hollis本项目为Kendall Hollis博士提供为期一年的博士后奖学金。项目资金将使霍利斯博士能够与新日铁公司的丰冈伸孝博士进行合作研究。研究人员打算研究由熔融颗粒形成的涂层，以及沉积过程的动力学如何决定最终涂层的微观结构。由于等离子喷涂涂层的应用可以大大降低制造成本或大大延长设备的使用寿命，预计该技术将在未来许多年继续受到政府和工业实验室的重视。作为博士后，霍利斯博士将有机会熟悉新日铁的研究技术和设备，同时为整体研究工作做出贡献。因此，该提案通过国际合作实现了该计划在科学知识交流和转移方面的目标。＊＊＊

9505360 Hollis This proposal supports a one-year postdoctoral fellowship for Dr. Kendall Hollis at Nippon Steel Corporation in Futtsu, Japan. Project funding will enable Dr. Hollis to undertake a collaborative research effort with Dr. Nobutaka Yurioka of Nippon Steel Corporation. The investigators intend to study the formation of the coating from molten particles and how the dynamics of the deposition process determine the micro structure of the resultant coating. As the application of coatings by plasma spraying can greatly reduce the fabrication cost or greatly extend the useful life of equipment, it is anticipated that the technology will continue to receive attention by government and industrial laboratories for many years to come. As a postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Hollis will have the opportunity to become familiar with research techniques and equipment at Nippon Steel Corporation while contributing to the overall research effort. Therefore, this proposal fulfills the objectives of the Program in its exchange and transfer of scientific knowledge through an international collaboration. ***
