West Virginia University/Industrial Research and Education Partnership for Improving High-Temperature Structural Alloys

9871926库珀西弗吉尼亚大学/工业研究与教育合作伙伴关系改进高温结构合金该项目将启动西弗吉尼亚大学/工业研究与教育合作伙伴关系改进高温结构合金。高强度高温合金是飞机发动机和用于电力生产的先进燃气轮机等机械的骨干。该合作伙伴关系成立于1997年，成立了一个指导委员会，由通用电气飞机发动机公司的詹姆斯·威廉姆斯博士担任主席。除了Williams博士，指导委员会成员还包括西弗吉尼亚大学、艾利森发动机公司、通用电气发电公司、INCO合金国际公司、furer - ladish公司、Special Metals Corporation和Carpenter Technology公司的代表。该委员会将致力于促进研发专业知识和知识在公司之间以及与西弗吉尼亚大学建立的跨学科实验/计算建模团队之间的共享。指导委员会已经确定了高温结构合金领域的关键挑战，公司代表认可了大学研发团队在解决这些挑战方面的研究工作。该项目将支持必要的组织和教育步骤，以将商定的优先研究推进到可以获得联邦和私营部门长期资助的阶段。

9871926 Cooper West Virginia University/Industrial Research and Education Partnership for Improving High-Temperature Structural Alloys This project will initiate the West Virginia University/Industrial Research and Education Partnership for Improving High-Temperature Structural Alloys. High-strength superalloys are the backbone of machinery such as aircraft engines and advanced gas turbines for electrical power production. The partnership, formed in 1997, established a steering committee, chaired by Dr. James Williams of G.E. Aircraft Engines. Besides Dr. Williams, the steering committee membership includes representatives of the University of West Virginia, Allison Engine Corporation, GE Power Generation, INCO Alloys International, Furrer-Ladish Co., Special Metals Corporation, and Carpenter Technology. The committee will work to facilitate sharing of R&D expertise and knowledge at the companies and with the interdisciplinary experimental/computational-modeling team that has been established at the University of West Virginia. The steering committee has identified critical challenges in the area of high-temperature structural alloys, and the company representatives endorsed the research efforts of the University R&D team in addressing these challenges. The project will support necessary organizational and educational steps necessary to advance the agreed-on priority research to a stage where long-range federal and private sector funding can be obtained.
