Canada is a major aluminum producer in the world and exports a great amount of primary aluminum metal.**Transforming a significant amount of this exported primary metal into value-added final products would inject a major drive to national and regional economy. Aluminum production and transformation represent a key industry sector, particularly in Québec. With the rapid emergence of other countries in both aluminum production and transformation, there is a pressing need for Canada to come up with innovative transformation processes and value-added products. A synergy between **universities and industries concerning the research, development and application of innovative aluminum transformation technologies is an essential avenue for achieving this goal. UQAC's long-term development on aluminum metallurgy, combined with strong support of industrial partners, constitutes a sound basis to continue supporting the research activities in aluminum transformation for many years to come. After extensive consulting with industrial partners, the proposed program focuses on four areas of research: 1) improvement of product quality and performance in the sheet ingot metallurgy; 2) hot **deformation and high temperature phase transformation of aluminum alloys; 3) solidification and casting processes of valued-added products; 4) advanced aluminum materials and processing. In each research area, a number of well-defined projects are selected based on the industry-driven priority. Collaborated with several professors and industrial scientists and experts, the research team has a wide range of the interdisciplinary expertise to support all research projects. The **long-term objectives of the proposed program are: i) to advance the knowledge of aluminum metallurgy and its emerging transformation technologies, and ii) to train highly qualified metallurgists and material engineers for Canadian aluminum and its related industries.**

加拿大是世界上主要的铝生产国，并出口了大量的原铝金属。铝的生产和转型代表了关键行业，尤其​​是魁北克。随着其他国家在铝生产和转型中的迅速出现，加拿大迫切需要提出创新的转型过程和增值产品。 **大学与行业之间的协同作用，涉及创新铝转化技术的研究，开发和应用是实现这一目标的重要途径。乌卡克（UQAC）对铝冶金的长期发展，加上对工业伙伴的强烈支持，构成了一个合理的基础，以继续支持未来多年的铝制转型研究活动。在与工业合作伙伴进行了广泛的咨询之后，拟议的计划重点介绍了四个研究领域：1）在Ingot Metallurgy薄板中提高产品质量和性能； 2）热**铝合金的变形和高温相变； 3）增值产品的固化和铸造过程； 4）高级铝材材料和加工。在每个研究领域，根据行业驱动的优先级选择了许多定义明确的项目。研究团队与几位教授，工业科学家和专家合作，拥有广泛的跨学科专业知识，以支持所有研究项目。拟议计划的**长期目标是：i）促进铝冶金及其新兴转型技术的知识，以及ii）培训高素质的冶金学家和材料工程师为加拿大铝及其相关行业进行培训。** **
