Justification for Center
• Many (most?) materials departments in the US have lost their expertise in physical metallurgy (many MSE faculty in top institutions do not have MSE degrees).
• Federal funding for structural alloys (ferrous and non‐ferrous) has decreased dramatically.
• Loss in synergistic interactions between faculty and industry scientists and engineers and a dramatic decrease in the number of students being properly trained in physical metallurgy.
• Concern is the eventual loss of US dominance in areas of structural materials including non‐ferrous alloys.
Example: University of Florida – MSE Department
CANFSA Vision
• Our vision is to become the premier place for research in the area of non‐ferrous structural alloys.
• Bring together university and industry researchers to conduct basic and applied physical metallurgy research on non‐ferrous structural alloys.
• Combine computational modeling, processing, and state‐of‐the‐art characterization methods and expertise in order to address relevant projects of mutual interest to industrial members.
• Train students in these complementary areas so that they can become critical players in the industries that develop or use non‐ferrous alloys.
