Collaborative Research Proposal for a Friction Stir Processing Industry /University Cooperative Research Center

该奖项是为建立一个新的多机构工业/大学摩擦搅拌加工合作研究中心（I/UCRC）的规划拨款。在这种新型金属连接和加工技术的研究和开发方面，国内和国际公认的领导者位于南达科他州矿业与技术学院、杨百翰大学、密苏里大学罗拉分校和南卡罗来纳大学，将这些机构聚集在一起，建立了摩擦搅拌加工I/UCRC。提议的搅拌摩擦加工I/UCRC将重点研究以下领域的进一步发展：搅拌摩擦加工/搅拌摩擦连接铁，有色金属和金属基复合合金：搅拌摩擦连接；搅拌摩擦显微组织改性；搅拌摩擦后处理；搅拌摩擦结构设计与应用搅拌摩擦智能控制器与高效工装摩擦搅拌成本效益分析。

This award is for a planning grant for the establishment of a new multi-institutional Industry/University Cooperative Research Center (I/UCRC) for Friction Stir Processing. Nationally and internationally recognized leaders in the research and development of this novel metals joining and processing technology are located at the South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, Brigham Young University, the University of Missouri-Rolla and the University of South Carolina, bringing together these institutions to establish the Friction Stir Processing I/UCRC.The proposed Friction Stir Processing I/UCRC will focus on furthering developments in the following fields of study for Friction Stir Processing/Friction Stir Joining of ferrous, non-ferrous, and metal matrix composite alloys: Friction Stir Joining; Friction Stir Microstructural Modification; Friction Stir Post-Processing; Friction Stir Structural Designs and Applications; Friction Stir Intelligent Controllers and Efficient Tooling; Friction Stir Cost Benefit Analysis.
