The Centre for Automotive Materials and Corrosion (CAMC) researches materials for automotive, industrial, and consumer applications. Particular focus is on the development of high strength steel and aluminum alloys intended for automotive weight reduction and safety applications. A second emphasis is placed on corrosion and its prevention. This is done by understanding microstructure-property relationships, metal forming and joining techniques, electrochemistry, corrosive environment, and fatigue.
