GOALI: Precision Manufacturing with Novel Industrial Lasers

该GOALI奖将由密歇根大学和通用电气公司研究与发展中心联合进行新型工业激光器的精密加工研究。GE工程师将访问密歇根大学，每次访问时间为一到两周，以进行联合研究。研究目标是利用新一代工业激光器，了解激光束与加工材料之间的相互作用作为波长、强度和相互作用时间的函数。重点是利用高平均功率、高峰值功率、高光束质量和各种波长等参数加工先进材料，这些参数在以前的激光系统中是不可用的。该合作研究将产生对新型工业激光器精密制造的基本理解。研究结果可以推动该技术的广泛工业应用。此外，校园内的工业存在可以促进大学与工业的密切互动，这对于更新工程教育计划和培养具有新兴技术先进知识的未来人才是有价值的。2

9713645 Mazumder This GOALI award will conduct research on precision machining with novel industrial lasers, jointly by the (University of Michigan and the General Electric Corporate Research and Development Center. GE Engineers will make visits to the University of Michigan, for the duration of one to two weeks each time, in order to conduct the joint research. The research objective is to understand the interactions between laser beam and machined material as a function of wavelength, intensity, and interaction time using a new generation of industrial lasers. Focus will be given to processing of advanced materials using parameters such as high average power, high peak power, high beam quality, and various wavelengths which were not available in the previous laser systems. The collaborative research will generate fundamental understanding of precision manufacturing with novel industrial lasers. The research result could propel widespread industrial applications of this technology. Also, the industry presence on campus could foster close university-industry interactions which are valuable to updating engineering education programs and preparation of future talents with advanced knowledge on emerging technologies. 2
