To promote funding and broader understanding of the chemical industry's ever-changing material needs as well as their energy, economic, and environmental burdens associated with corrosion and other materials performance and lifetime issues. Advancements will have significant pay-offs for the industry in operation efficiency and overall plant safety.

• Updated Roadmap for Process Equipment Materials Technology (PDF 370 KB). The earlier roadmap is The Materials of Construction Roadmap (PDF 569 KB).
• Priority projects were co-funded by DOE/EERE Industrial Technologies Program, for example:
• Intermetallics and alloys for ethylene reactors
• Corrosion monitoring system
• Prediction of corrosion alloys in mixed solvents
• Metal dusting phenomenon and resistant materials
• Alloy selection system for elevated temperatures

Continued assessment of roadmap priorities.
