Funded Activity Summary

Metal Processes and Products for a Sustainable Future. The metal manufacturing industry is extremely important to Australia; either directly through local products or indirectly through our mineral exports to the global market. The growth in emerging economies is driving major increases in metal production which currently requires large amounts of energy and production of significant greenhouse gas. Also many of the products, such as automobiles, are contributing to our environmental problems. This program of research will develop new processes, such as strip casting, that can radically reduce the production energy and other resource requirements. Also new products that will lead to lighter weight vehicles will be developed.
