The AESF Research Program began in 1919 when Dr. William Blum asked the
Society to help fund research efforts of the National Bureau of
Standards (now the National Institute of Science and Technology).
This initial request paved the way for the expansion of the AESF
Research Program in 1944 to support universities and colleges,
industrial companies, and independent research centers and
laboratories. This program will continue to expand and thrive
under the direction of the AESF Foundation.
In the past, the AESF Research Program
has awarded grants for the following projects:
· University
of South
Carolina,
“Development of New Process for Plating Thin Films of Zn-Ni-P-X,
etc.”
· Pennsylvania State University,
“Development of Environmentally Friendly Corrosion Prevention
Deposit
on Steel”
· University
of Cincinnati,
“Improves Silanne Film Performance by
Electrodeposition”
·
McGill University,
“Effect of Material Characteristics and Surface Processing
Variables on Hydrogen Embrittlement of Steel Fasteners” (part
of a 3-year research project)
· University
of South
Carolina,
“Development of Ni Based High Wear Resistance Composite
Coatings”
The AESF Foundation’s goals
are to encourage and support activities that help progress the science
and technology of the surface finishing industry. Pertinent R&D
activities, conducted or sponsored by the industry, universities and
government agencies can provide new resources and the Foundation is
seeking projects to fund that will help to achieve its
goals.
