OSTI ID:5019960

The High Temperature Materials Laboratory (HTML) is a new $19 million facility that serves as the focal point for high-temperature ceramics research at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). It is also a major user facility, providing members of the industrial and university research communities access to the extensive array of special research equipment needed to characterize the microstructure and microchemistry of materials and to investigate the effect of these parameters on the physical and mechanical properties of the materials. User research equipment is divided among four User Centers: Materials Analysis, High Temperature X-ray Diffraction, Physical Properties, and Mechancial Properties. This brochure provides brief descriptions of each of the major pieces of research equipment in the User Centers. Hands-on operation of this equipment by qualified users is encouraged. A User Center staff is available with special responsibility of maintaining the User Center equipment and for interacting with users. Both proprietary and nonproprietary research may be performed by users in the HTML. No charge is made for access to the research equipment for nonproprietary research. Proprietary research, on the other hand, is done on a full cost recovery basis.
