PNNL is… Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is one of DOE’s 17 National Laboratories. Located in Richland, WA, PNNL conducts ~ $960M in Research Annually, on behalf of the DOE and other government and private sector stakeholders. PNNL Research Competencies include: Separations Technologies Subsurface Science & Engineering Multiscale imaging Integrated Scientific Computing Materials Science & Engineering Discovery & Development Manufacturing: Metals Processing & Formability Performance Assessment

PNNL’s Focus in Metals manufacturing: Solid phase processing Solid Phase Processing is the application of a high strain during materials synthesis and/or fabrication, to produce high-performance microstructures without melting the constitutive materials. Current Research Portfolio includes: Solid Phase Joining of Similar & Dissimilar Metals Solid Phase Processing to Produce Semi-Finished Components Solid Phase Surface Processing for Increased Functionality or for In-Service Repair

Future Opportunities: Leverage Solid Phase Processing Approaches to Manufacture Components for Extreme Environment Applications: Faster, Cheaper, Better Route to High Performance Alloys and Components Durability Enhancement through Surface Processing and/or Coatings “Smart” Components with Embedded Sensors Life-Time Extension through Retrofit or Repair
