Green Machining of Powder Metallurgy Based Aluminium Composites

该项目将启动并建立利哈伊大学(美国宾夕法尼亚州伯利恒)的Wojciech Z.Misiolek教授和昆士兰大学的Graham Schaffer教授之间的合作研究计划。米肖莱克教授将在昆士兰大学延长六个月的学习时间。该项目的具体目标是开发一种在绿色或未烧结状态下加工铝复合材料的方法。这将克服铝基复合材料更广泛应用的主要障碍，铝基复合材料具有吸引人的性能组合，但不能使用传统的加工方法形成复杂的形状。

This project will initiate and establish a collaborative research program between Professor Wojciech Z. Misiolek of Lehigh University (Bethlehem, PA, USA) and Professor Graham Schaffer at The University of Queensland. Professor Misiolek will spend an extended six month period at The University of Queensland. The specific aim of the project is to develop a method to machine aluminium composites in the green, or unsintered, state. This will overcome a major impediment to the wider utilisation of aluminium matrix composites, which have an attractive combination of properties but cannot be formed into complex shapes using conventional processing methodologies.
