Awarded by Japan Society for Technology of Plasticity with a Fund Donated by Nichidai Corporation on the Occasionof the International Conference on Technology of Plasticity (ICTP)
Purpose:The "JSTP International Prize for R&D in Precision Forging" is established (1) to promote research and development inprecision forging and other net shape forming methods, and (2) to recognize distinguished researchers who havecontributed to the worldwide advancement of precision forming technology with high quality research work.
Technical Areas:
Candidates for the prize will be selected from researchers working in areas of technologies related to precision forging
and other precision forming methods, including but not limited to: theory of forming, forming machines, die and tools,lubrication and coating technology, forming materials, simulation of forming processes and computer aided engineering.
Policy:1) Candidates’ result of original work, such as development of a new forming method, new theory, etc., must have asignificant impact on precision forming technology, and be published and recognized internationally.
2) Candidates’ nationality is not part of the criterion.
3) Candidates are limited to distinguished individuals with great creativity. No research institutions, companies andgroups may be candidates of the prize, but they may nominate individual candidates.
