Engineering Research Equipment: High Vacuum Hot Press for Synthesis of Dense Ceramics, Ceramic/Metal Composites and Diffusion Bonding

这项研究设备补助金将允许科罗拉多矿业学院高级陶瓷中心购买一台高真空热压机，这对于陶瓷工程和材料科学的几个研究项目至关重要。研究人员显然需要这种设备来开发用于陶瓷和复合材料研究的全致密陶瓷。陶瓷合成和金属/陶瓷功能梯度材料的研究是近年来重要而新颖的研究课题。PI在质量研究方面有很强的记录，并在陶瓷失效研究方面表现出了很强的能力。除了研究之外，这些设备还将提供给本科生用于教育目的。项目成本的50%的机构成本份额将来自科罗拉多州的资本设备补助金，用于科罗拉多矿业学院冶金和材料工程大楼的翻新和建设。＊＊＊

9622146 Reimanis This Research Equipment Grant will allow the Center for Advanced Ceramics at the Colorado School of Mines to purchase a high vacuum hot press which is essential for several research projects in Ceramic Engineering and in Materials Science. This equipment is clearly needed by the investigator to develop fully-dense ceramics for research studies on ceramics and composites. The research studies on ceramic synthesis and metal/ceramic functionally graded materials are important and novel research topics. PI has a strong record of quality research and has demonstrated competence in his studies of the failure of ceramics. In addition to research studies the equipment will be available to undergraduate students for educational purposes. The institutional cost-share of 50% of the project costs will come from a State of Colorado capital equipment grant for the renovation and construction of the Metallurgical and Materials Engineering building at the Colorado school of Mines. ***
