Planning Grant for an I/UCRC for Advanced Non-Ferrous Structural Alloys0969031 Colorado School of Mines; Michael Kaufman 0969026 University of North Texas; Srinivasan Srivilliputhur 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: solidification and casting, lightweight alloys (Al, Mg and Ti), high performance alloys (superalloys), and high production alloys. The PIs will insure that students have the opportunity to work on state-of-the-art projects and be mentored by both experimental and modeling experts. CSM and UNT plan to use the NSF planning grant fund to hold a meeting with prospective industrial partners to establish the proposed Center's organizational framework, and to establish research projects of greatest relevance. 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. The PIs will insure that both undergraduate and graduate students receive appropriate education and training to become well grounded in the fundamental principles of physical metallurgy. The Center plans to provide research opportunities to qualified students from underrepresented groups, and to hiring researchers (from the minority groups) at the faculty level that might expand the Center activities. The proposed Center will showcase its activities and invite high school students from the local community to emphasize to them the role of structural materials in the world around them.

高级有色金属结构合金I/UCRC计划补助金科罗拉多矿业学院; Michael考夫曼;北德克萨斯大学;斯里尼瓦桑斯里维利普图尔 先进有色金属结构合金中心将专注于有色金属合金的物理冶金（合金化和加工对微观结构，性能和性能的影响）以及开发，制造和使用这些合金的行业。 科罗拉多矿业学院（CSM）和北德克萨斯大学（UNT）正在合作建立拟议的中心，CSM作为牵头机构。 拟建中心旨在为一个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，该研究中心将进行与开发，制造和使用先进有色金属结构合金的行业直接相关的关键基础和应用物理冶金研究。 PI提出了以下主题领域：凝固和铸造，轻质合金（Al，Mg和Ti），高性能合金（超级合金）和高产量合金。 PI将确保学生有机会从事最先进的项目，并得到实验和建模专家的指导。 CSM和UNT计划利用NSF规划赠款基金与潜在的工业合作伙伴举行会议，以建立拟议的中心的组织框架，并建立最相关的研究项目。拟议中的中心有可能通过开发先进的有色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过程中的能源消耗和污染。 这项研究还将提高美国制造商的竞争力。 该PI将确保本科生和研究生都接受适当的教育和培训，成为物理冶金学的基本原理打好基础。该中心计划为来自代表性不足群体的合格学生提供研究机会，并在教师一级雇用研究人员（来自少数群体），这可能会扩大该中心的活动。 拟建的中心将展示其活动，并邀请当地社区的高中生向他们强调结构材料在周围世界中的作用。
