This Annual Report describes in general the progress during Calendar Year 1978, on a program under the direction of The Metal Properties Council, Inc., designed to screen materials for use in such plants with respect to the various unique corrosive environments obtaining therein; and, finally, to provide useful corrosion data as well as reliable information on other properties needed for the design, construction and operation of such plants. This program is sponsored by the US Department of Energy and the Gas Research Institute. The program is being pursued in seven phases. The actual laboratory testing for the first four phases is being conducted at the IIT Research Institute. The testing necessary for Phase V is being conducted principally at the Southwest Research Institute. The entire program is being monitored by Subcommittee 9 on Materials for the Gasification of Coal of The Metal Properties Council, Inc. A summary of achievements during Calendar Year 1978 under each phase follows. There have been four Annual Reports and fifteen Quarterly Reports preceding this Report.
