Metallurgy Research Present and Future Metallurgy (Non Ferrous) Research Present and Future • what does industry need ? • how can academia help ? • what’s new (in aluminium !) ? Dr R. A. Ricks Director: Materials Research Alcan International Limited Banbury Laboratory Slide 1 © Alcan International Ltd/Alusuisse Technology&Management Ltd, 2001
Metallurgy Research Present and Future • what does industry need ? composition + processing = attributes Product attributes include • cost • geometry • properties • aesthetics All attributes must be within specification otherwise you have no product !

Metallurgy Research Present and Future • what does industry need ? composition + processing = attributes alloy chemistry furnace charging melting furnace treatment grain refinement degassing filtration launder practice metal transfer casting scalping scheduling homogenisation breakdown mill run-out table tandem mill reroll coiling cold roll coiling slitting & post lube packing Slide 3 shipping © Alcan International Ltd/Alusuisse Technology&Management Ltd, 2001
Metallurgy Research Present and Future • what does industry need ? composition + processing = attributes Through process modelling (remember the list of attributes) • the product is not just about properties (microstructure) • industry has through process models - cost and geometry • the models really do have to be through process • local sub-optimisation of part of the process stream is highly undesirable tandem mill Slide 4 reroll coiling © Alcan International Ltd/Alusuisse Technology&Management Ltd, 2001
Metallurgy Research Present and Future • how can academia help ? communication ? pre-competitive technology communication ? core technology enabling technology I. P. Slide 5 { present EPSRC strategy is not conducive for academic partnership with mature industries © Alcan International Ltd/Alusuisse Technology&Management Ltd, 2001
Metallurgy Research Present and Future • how can academia help ? pre-competitive technology • • Slide 6 this should be where academia delivers should be natural partnerships with industry (but - I. P. ) not too much too soon (eg Al - Li alloys) value is the knowledge base - not $ • people • expertise and experience © Alcan International Ltd/Alusuisse Technology&Management Ltd, 2001
Metallurgy Research Present and Future • how can academia help ? core technology • • Slide 7 care needed for academia involvement could be natural partnerships with industry (but - I. P. ) technology must remain within industry value can be economic if time-scale allows • how does academe get the rewards ? • how does industry protect it’s core competency ? © Alcan International Ltd/Alusuisse Technology&Management Ltd, 2001
Metallurgy Research Present and Future • how can academia help ? enabling technology • • Slide 8 enabling technology for one sector is core for another potential competition between academia and industry academia must understand product liability value will be economic if the development is sound © Alcan International Ltd/Alusuisse Technology&Management Ltd, 2001
