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科罗拉多矿业学院;迈克尔考夫曼1134873北德克萨斯大学;彼得柯林斯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：高性能合金（镍基超级合金和钛基合金），轻质合金，包括铝，镁（及其复合材料），以及先进的合金和工艺。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。这些重点领域的管理是以CSM非常成功的先进钢铁产品和加工中心为模式的，即让公司指定它们希望将其会员费的哪一部分分配给这三个特定的重点领域。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。鉴于拟议中心的重点将是结构有色金属合金的物理冶金学，这两个机构的相关研究计划将重新审查并可能修改，以确保本科和研究生课程与这一重点保持一致。换句话说，这两个机构将努力确保本科生和研究生接受适当的教育和培训，以使他们在物理冶金的基本原理有很好的基础。作为一个与工业界互动的中心，PI打算接触当地社区，使他们注意到这个特定行业面临的问题，以及机构如何帮助这些行业在这些全球市场上竞争。该中心还将确保多样性是选择本科生和研究生的标准之一，这些学生被认为是行业相关项目的候选人。
