1134882 Colorado School of Mines; Michael Kaufman 1134873 University of North Texas; Peter Collins The Center for Advanced Non-Ferrous Structural Alloys will focus on the physical metallurgy of non-ferrous alloys (alloying and processing effects on microstructure, properties and performance) and on the industries that develop, manufacture, and use these alloys. Colorado School of Mines (CSM) and the University of North Texas (UNT) are collaborating to establish the proposed center, with CSM as the lead institution. The proposed Center aims to establish the industrial support, operational mechanisms, and a prospective research portfolio for a viable research Center that will conduct critical basic and applied physical metallurgy research of direct relevance to the industries that develop, manufacture and use advanced non-ferrous structural alloys. The PIs are proposing the following topical areas: high performance alloys (nickel base super alloys and titanium base alloys), lightweight alloys including aluminum, magnesium (and their composites), and advanced alloys and processes. The PIs will insure that students have the opportunity to work on state-of-the-art projects and to be mentored by both experimental and modeling experts. The management of these focus areas is being modeled after the highly successful Advanced Steel Products and Processing Center at CSM, namely, by having companies designate what portion of their membership fees they wish to have distributed into the three specific focus areas. The proposed Center has the potential to improve sustainability and profitability of US manufacturing by developing advanced non-ferrous alloys that could reduce energy consumption and pollution in the manufacturing of these alloys. The research would also improve the competitiveness of US manufacturers. Given that the focus of the proposed center will be on the physical metallurgy of structural non-ferrous alloys, the associated programs of study at the two institutions will be reexamined and potentially modified in order to insure that the undergraduate and graduate curricula are consistent with this focus. In other words, both institutions will work to insure that the undergraduate and graduate students receive proper education and training in order for them to be well grounded in fundamental principles of physical metallurgy. As a center interacting with industry, the PIs intend to reach out to local communities to bring their attention to the issues facing this particular industry sector and how the institutions can assist these industries as they compete in these global markets. The center will also insure that diversity is one of the criteria in the selection of both undergraduate and graduate students who are considered for the industry relevant projects.

1134882科罗拉多州矿业学校；迈克尔·考夫曼（Michael Kaufman）1134873北德克萨斯大学；彼得·柯林斯（Peter Collins）的高级非有产结构合金中心将重点关注非有产合金的物理冶金（合金和加工对微结构，属性和性能的效果），以​​及开发，生产和使用这些合金的行业。科罗拉多州矿业学院（CSM）和北德克萨斯大学（UNT）正在合作建立拟议中心，并将CSM作为主要机构。拟议的中心旨在为可行的研究中心建立工业支持，运营机制和前瞻性研究组合，该研究中心将对开发，制造和使用先进的非有效性结构性的行业进行关键的基本和应用的物理冶金研究，以直接相关性合金。 PI提出了以下局部区域：高性能合金（镍碱基超级合金和钛基合金），包括铝，镁（及其复合材料）在内的轻质合金以及高级合金和工艺。 PI将确保学生有机会从事最先进的项目，并受到实验和建模专家的指导。这些重点领域的管理是根据CSM的高级高级钢铁产品和加工中心进行建模的，即，公司指定他们希望分配到三个特定焦点领域的会员费中的哪些部分。拟议的中心有可能通过开发先进的非有产性合金来提高美国制造业的可持续性和盈利能力，从而减少这些合金制造中的能耗和污染。这项研究还将提高美国制造商的竞争力。鉴于所提出的中心的重点将放在结构非有产性合金的物理冶金上，因此将重新审查这两个机构的相关研究计划，并有可能修改以确保本科和研究生课程与此相关。重点。换句话说，这两个机构都将努力确保本科生和研究生接受适当的教育和培训，以便他们以物理冶金基本原则的基本原则为基础。作为与行业互动的中心，PIS打算与当地社区接触，以将注意力集中在该特定行业领域面临的问题以及机构如何在这些全球市场竞争时如何为这些行业提供帮助。该中心还将确保多样性是选择与行业相关项目的本科生和研究生选择的标准之一。
