9614076 Conley Net shape aluminum casting and their production applications have gained a great attention by companies in the U.S. and Mexico. As government regulation forces automotive manufacturers to reduce weight and improve fuel efficiency, the suitability of aluminum alloys to replace ferrous materials become more attractive. This collaborative research project addresses fundamental issues on the design and microstructural characterization of near net shape aluminum alloy castings between Northwestern University and the Institute Politecnico Nacional in Mexico. Under the NSF CONACyT Collaborative Research Project Initiatives, NSF supports international collaborative research activities in the areas where efforts are likely to produce complementary and synergistic effects. The research project has a balance between theory and experiment, and will provide valuable findings for the aluminum alloy casting industry.

小行星9614076 净形铝铸件及其生产应用已受到美国和墨西哥公司的极大关注。 随着政府法规迫使汽车制造商减轻重量并提高燃油效率，铝合金替代黑色金属材料的适用性变得更具吸引力。 这个合作研究项目解决了西北大学和墨西哥国家理工学院之间的近净形铝合金铸件的设计和微观结构表征的基本问题。根据国家科学基金会国家科学技术委员会合作研究项目倡议，国家科学基金会支持在可能产生互补和协同效应的领域开展国际合作研究活动。 本研究在理论和实验上取得了较好的平衡，为铝合金铸造行业提供了有价值的研究成果。
