• Each of these challenges is a complex, large-scale problem to which science and technology can contribute part of the solution, yet U.S. investments in R&D have not been focused on the physical sciences and engineering, which hold the key to addressing many of the issues
• A new generation of scientists and engineers is needed to deliver the R&D from which technological solutions will be drawn, yet the number of American-born students of science and engineering at U.S. universities is falling, and fewer international students are coming to the United States to study and conduct R&D.
Progress has been made on advanced structural materials (e.g., ferritic/martensitic steels, refractory alloys, and ceramic composites).

Introduction Magnesium alloys are the lightest engineering metals and have high specific strength and stiffness [1].
In addition, the edge of the boundary is more obvious in the advancing side (AS) of SZ but more blurred in the retreating side (RS) of SZ after two-pass FSP.

Fracture Surface Characterisation of Friction Stir Processed Magnesium Alloy after Mechanical Tests EMANUELA CERRI1*, MARIA TERESA DI GIOVANNI1, TIZIANO RIMOLDI2 and LUIGI CRISTOFOLINI2 1Department of Industrial Engineering, University of Parma, Campus Area delle Scienze 181/A, 43124 Parma (ITALY) 2Department of Physics and Earth Sciences, University of Parma, Campus Area delle Scienze n.7/A, 43124 Parma (ITALY) Keywords: FSP, magnesium alloy, fracture surface, mechanical properties.
A high pressure die cast Mg-9%Al-1%Zn alloy was friction stir processed at two high rotation rates and advancing speeds.
Microhardness was measured on cross sections perpendicular to the advancing direction of the stirring pin, at various depth levels, before performing tensile tests to estimate the attitude of a single region to be deformed.
The indentations run from the base material (BM) to the stirred zone from the advancing to the retreating side.
