Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Engin- eering Tribology: Experimental and Analytical Investigation of the Seizure Process in an Aluminum Steel/Tribocontact

摘要EEC 9523574 Cheng 这是伊利诺伊大学香槟分校空调和制冷中心（ACRC）与西北大学工程摩擦学中心之间的“TIE”项目。本研究的目的是研究分析和实验的铝/钢摩擦接触的咬合过程。本研究的实验部分将在伊利诺伊大学进行，而研究的分析部分将在西北大学进行。伊利诺伊州ACRC和西北大学摩擦学中心之间的这个“TIE”项目结合了这两个中心的优势，研究了一个对许多行业非常重要的相关问题：空调和制冷，汽车和航空航天。此外，这项研究可能会提供额外的洞察力的定性性质的磨损和材料转移过程中的铝/钢接触。

ABSTRACT EEC 9523574 Cheng This is a "TIE" project between the Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Center (ACRC) at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and the Center for Engineering Tribology at Northwestern University. The objective of this research is to examine both analytically and experimentally the seizure process of an aluminum/steel tribocontact. The experimental portion of this research study will be conducted at the University of Illinois while the analytical portion of the study will be conducted Northwestern University. This "TIE" project between the ACRC at Illinois and the Tribology Center at Northwestern combines the strengths of these two centers to research a very relevant problem important to a number of industries: air conditioning and refrigeration, automotive, and aerospace. Additionally, this research may provide additional insight on the qualitative nature of the wear and material transfer process in the Aluminum/Steel contact.
