Excerpt
Introduction: This report describes the major technical activities and accomplishments of the Metallurgy Division in 1997, and, therefore, reflects the research priorities established after extensive consultation and collaboration with our customers in US industry. It also reflects the Program planning and management structure that we have developed within the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory (MSEL) to meet the identified needs of the Nation?s measurement and standards infrastructure. The Division is organized administratively into groups that represent the Division?s core expertise in Metallurgical Processing, Electrochemical Processing, Magnetic Materials, Materials Structure and Characterization, and Materials Performance. However, by virtue of the interdisciplinary nature of materials science and engineering, the Program teams cut across the Division?s management groups and, in many cases, cut across MSEL Divisions and the NIST Laboratories in order to best meet the scientific and technical.
