Metals and Ceramics Division progress report for period ending September 30, 1987

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5030809
The Metals and Ceramics Division is a broad, multidisciplinary research organization that is responsible for providing materials support for the ORNL and DOE programs. The Division is structured around functional groups having capabilities that can be combined to attack large, complex problems. The Division tends to emphasize high-temperature structural materials. Activities range from fundamental, theoretical, and experimental studies of alloying behavior through development of new materials and on to the establishment of engineering properties and appropriate data bases. Strong emphasis is placed on the development and transfer of technology to the private sector. Some activities cross both functional and programmatic lines. This report presents brief descriptions of our functional groups in Chapters 1 through 3. Program activities are reviewed in Chapter 4, and collaborative research facilities are highlighted in Chapter 5. Major new programs were initiated in High-Temperature Superconductivity and Microwave Sintering.
