The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to Northwestern University (NU) to discern if mischmetal, a novel aluminum-cerium-lanthanum-based alloy whose energy-footprint is lower than current alloys, can successfully replace the use of heavy titanium-based aerospace parts. This NEPA determination is applicable to all three Budget Periods.
