Three Major User Centers

filler

High Temperature Materials Laboratory (HTML) User Facility
 

The High Temperature Materials Laboratory (HTML) is a DOE User Facility designed to help solve materials problems that limit the efficiency and reliability of automotive systems, including propulsion and chasis systems. HTML includes six user centers available to researchers in industry, universities, and federal laboratories.

The program has two major objectives: Conduct research that will assist U.S. industry in meeting challenges from foreign competitors in materials related to transportation and assist in educating and training materials researchers.

  Friction, Wear & Machinability (machining & inspection, mechanical characterization)
  Materials Analysis (microstructure analysis)
  Mechanical Characterization & Analysis (mechanical characterization)
  Residual Stress (residual stress)
  Thermography & Thermophysical Properties (thermophysical properties, thermography)
   
 
Materials Processing Laboratory Users (MPLUS) User Facility
 

The Materials Processing Laboratory Users (MPLUS) activity is an officially designated U.S. DOE, Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Industrial Technologies Program, Industrial Materials for the Future user facility at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.

The goal of MPLUS is to work with industries, universities, and other organizations in helping to meet the mission of industries of the Future efforts. The MPLUS efforts are typically high risk feasibility research and development (R&D) activities that can help the development and implementation of new and emerging technologies.

Shared Research Equipment (SHaRE) User Facility
 

The Shared Research Equipment (SHaRE) User Facility and Program, sponsored by the Department of Energy's Basic Energy Science Program, Division of Scientific User Facilities, provide microanalytical facilities for studies within the material sciences. SHaRE offers state-of-the-art capabilites in the areas of transmission electron microscopy, atom-probe field-ion microscopy, surface analysis, nuclear microanalysis, and mechanical properties microanalysis. A diversity of research projects has been conducted, such as the characterization of magnetic materials, catalysis, semiconducting device materials, high Tc superconductors, and surface-modified polymers.
