The role of the National Laboratories is summarized from the era of post World War II to the present time. The U.S. federal government policy for the National Laboratories and its influence on their materials science infrastructure is reviewed with respect to .determining overall research strategies, various initiatives to interact with industry (especially in recent years),building facilities that serve the nation, and developing leading edge research in the materials sciences. Despite reductions in support for research in the U.S. in recent years, and uncertainties regarding the specific policies for Research &Development (R&D) in the U.S., there are strong roles for materials research at the National Laboratories. These roles will be centered on the abilities of the National Laboratories to field multidisciplinary teams, the use of unique cutting edge facilities, a focus on areas of strength within each of the labs,increased teaming and partnerships, and the selection of motivated research areas. It is hoped that such teaming opportunities will include new alliances with China, in a manner similar, perhaps, to those recently achieved between the U.S. and other countries.

Corrosion Science
The early stages of the evolution of atmospheric corrosion of carbon steels exposed in both a laboratory simulated and a natural atmosphere environment in Shenyang have been observed by in situ scanning electron microscopy. In the case of laboratory cyclic wet-dry tests, even though the chloride content level is very low, filiform corrosion is initiated in the early stage. The filiform corrosion grows in random directions, forming a network of ridges. White nodules nucleate and grow on the ridges during continued corrosion and eventually connect with each other to form the initial corrosion scale. Pits were also found on the surface beneath corrosion products. In the case of a natural atmospheric environment, both filiform corrosion and other localized corrosion, such as pitting and inter-granular attack take place in the initial stage. It is obvious that there is variety of localized corrosion in the initial stage of atmospheric corrosion. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

In order to interpret the test results of crossweld specimens for application in practical welded components, the present paper studies the high temperature behavior of laboratory cross weld specimens in terms of the uniaxial material tests and numerical simulations. It is found that the crossweld specimen may be used for the high temperature strength assessment, but can hardly be used for life assessment of the practical welded components, which depends on the loading conditions of the components.

The corrosion behaviour of CortenA weathering steel has been investigated using a laboratory accelerated test that involved cyclic wet/dry conditions in Qinghai salt lake water diluted 30 times The characteristics of the rust layers on tested samples were observed by SEM and EPMA analyzed by IRS and XRD and studied by polarization and EIS measurements The weight loss was almost linear indicating that the rust layer had no retarding effect on the corrosion process The crystalline components of the rust layers consisted primarily of beta-FeOOH magnetite (Fe(3)O(4)) and gamma-FeOOH As the corrosion proceeded the amount of beta-FeOOH decreased while that of magnetite and gamma-FeOOH increased XRD EDAX and EPMA indicated that the complex corrosion products magnesioferrite (MgFe(2)O(4)) and iowaite (Mg(4)Fe(OH)(8)OCl 4H(2)O) probably existed in the rust layer in which case they will have had an important Influence on the protectiveness of the rust layer The results of electrochemical measurements showed that the rust layer exhibited high reduction reactivity which facilitated the corrosion of weathering steel in the wetting process The large rust capacitance and small rust resistance indicated that the rust layer had a loose and porous structure which provided poor protection (c) 2010 Elsevier B V All rights reserved

Using a halide-activated pack-cementation method but at a temperature (600 degrees C) noticeably lower than normal, an eta-Fe(2)Al(5) coating and two delta-Ni(2)Al(3) coatings with and without dispersions of CeO(2) nanoparticles were developed respectively on a low-carbon steel and the steel pretreated with an electrodeposited film of Ni or Ni-CeO(2). The erosion-corrosion (E-C) performance of the three aluminide coatings during 100 h exposure at similar to 600 degrees C in a coal-firing laboratory-scale fluidized-bed combustor (FBC) was investigated, by mounting the aluminized samples onto a rig which maintained rotation for accelerating the relative impacting speed of flying solid particles (mainly SiO(2) bed materials). The eta-Fe(2)Al(5) and the CeO(2)-free delta-Ni(2)Al(3) coatings experienced an unacceptable recession rate. Compared to the two CeO(2)-free aluminide coatings, the CeO(2)-dispersed delta-Ni(2)Al(3) coating offered profoundly improved E-C resistance, because the latter coating was not only strengthened by the CeO(2) dispersion and grain refinement, it also could grow a more adherent alumina scale.

The antiwear properties of two wheel/rail lubricating oils were tested and compared on an Amsler machine. Under same testing conditions, oil A (developed by authors) showed much better wear resistance and higher load-carrying capacity than oil B (imported from abroad). The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses of the worn surfaces showed that different extreme pressure (EP) lubricating films were formed on the surfaces when the rollers were lubricated with different oils under boundary Iubrication condition. The EP film of oil A was a composite film containing three compounds, FeO, FeSx and FeP, while oil B formed only a simple EP film of FePO4. The composite EP film showed lower shear strength and better antiwear property than the simple EP film,which brought about different wear resistance of the two wheel/rail lubricating oils.
