The ARC Centre of Excellence for Design in Light Metals co-ordinates internationally-competitive national research strengths to establish a strategic fundamental research platform for expansion of the light metals industry nationally. |
|
| It embraces a novel ‘design-directed’ approach to the systematic identification of strategic research initiatives that will maximise the competitiveness of light alloys and light metal hybrid materials based on aluminium, magnesium and titanium. |
|
| The Centre addresses strategic design targets identified in light metal applications through: |
|
| • |
Novel approaches to the design and processing of conventional light alloys to modify existing property profiles, including production of existing properties more economically, and |
|
| • |
Innovative approaches to design with and applications of light metal systems to create novel property profiles that expand applications of the light metals. |
|
| The ‘design-directed’ approach provides an effective linkage between fundamental research and engineering applications. |
|
| Coupled with a focus on genuine innovation in materials design and advances in downstream processing, it ensures that the Centre fills a critical void in the national light metals research strategy and provides a vital link between research and industry sectors. |
