Detroit-based LIFT -- Lightweight Innovations For Tomorrow, a public-private partnership committed to the development and deployment of advanced lightweight metal manufacturing technologies, has announced the formation of a team of manufacturers and universities that will work to develop a database and computer models that better predict the way aluminum alloys corrode after being put in use as parts for airplanes or other forms of transportation.
The Ohio State University and United Technologies Research Center, the research and innovation engine of United Technologies Corp. (UTC), will lead the project, in collaboration with Lockheed Martin, DNV GL, and the University of Michigan. The project goal is to identify new ways to mitigate corrosion within aluminum alloys.
Funding for LIFT technical projects comes from both LIFT and project partners. LIFT is funded in part by the Department of Defense with management through the Office of Naval Research.
