Research interests
 
Professor Fraser has an active research program in the development of new and improved materials, including:
 
•
Light alloys (such as Ti and Be)
•
Advanced intermetallic compounds
•
Phase stability and deformation behaviour in multilayered materials
•
Friction stir welding
•
Composite systems
 
This is based on research involving the development of advanced methods of materials characterization (involving high resolution and analytical electron microscopy), materials processing, and microstructure/property relationships.
 
More recently, he has concentrated effort on establishing the Center for the Accelerated Maturation of Materials (CAMM). At present, he serves as Director of CAMM in its start-up mode, and is responsible for soliciting funds from NSF, DARPA, the State of Ohio, and industrial partners.
