CMQ has become one of the most successful CCTTs and a leading player in the metallurgical sector, particularly in aluminum processing. CMQ offers services to more than 200 companies annually. To promote aluminum processing, as part of the Québec Aluminum Development Strategy, CMQ embarked on a major investment project of 12 M$, at the request of the government of Québec. Indeed, the infrastructure to be installed at the CMQ in 2021-2022 will include two semi-industrial rolling mills as well as a semi-solid rheocasting-type moulding cell. This proposal will enable companies to accelerate the development of new advanced applications (either material or process-based). It makes innovation accessible to an entire industry, including several companies that would never have taken the risk or had the physical and financial means to benefit from these technological advances. In aluminum rolling, research projects will target alloy development, new applications, thermoforming, etc. Companies identified to participate to the initiative are Rio Tinto, Verbom, BRP, Manac, Nature Alu, Bell Helicopter Textron. On another hand, semi-solid aluminum casting is an efficient solution to produce high integrity parts. This process allows for improved component performance for structural applications, significant improvement in mechanical properties and improved mould life. Companies identified to participate to the initiative are Dyna-Tool, Foseco, Fiat Chrysler Automotive, ADC Technologies and BRP. Finally, regarding additive manufacturing and welding, research will target aluminum powder development for LPBF, wire arc additive manufacturing process development and robotic welding for versatile welding cells with company as Maadi Group, Rio Tinto, Manac, Bell-Textron and Alcoa. Through the affiliation of CMQ with CÉGEP de Trois-Rivières and its collaborations with several university researchers, this proposal will also help train HQP who are already in great demand countrywide.

CMQ 已成为最成功的 CCTT 之一，也是冶金行业的领先参与者，特别是在铝加工领域，CMQ 每年为 200 多家公司提供服务。作为魁北克铝业发展战略的一部分，CMQ 开始实施铝加工。事实上，应魁北克政府的要求，CMQ 将于 2021 年至 2022 年安装基础设施，耗资 1200 万美元。包括两个半工业轧机以及一个半固态流变铸造型成型单元，该提案将使公司能够加速新的先进应用的开发（无论是基于材料还是基于工艺），它使整个行业都可以进行创新。 ，其中包括一些永远不会承担风险或没有物质和财务手段从这些技术进步中受益的公司。在铝轧制方面，研究项目将针对合金开发、新应用、热成型等。确定参与该倡议的公司。是力拓、 Verbom、BRP、Manac、Nature Alu、Bell Helicopter Textron 另一方面，半固态铝铸造是高完整性零件的有效解决方案，该工艺可以提高结构应用的部件性能，显着提高机械性能并改进模具。确定参与该计划的公司包括 Dyna-Tool、Foseco、Fiat Chrysler Automotive、ADC Technologies 和 BRP。最后，关于增材制造和焊接，研究将针对铝粉末的开发。通过 CMQ 与 CÉGEP de Trois-Rivières 的合作以及与多所大学研究人员的合作，与 Maadi Group、Rio Tinto、Manac、Bell-Textron 和 Alcoa 等公司进行 LPBF、电弧增材制造工艺开发和机器人焊接。 ，该提案还将有助于培训全国范围内已经有大量需求的 HQP。
