Support is provided for the Materials Research Laboratory (MRL), which          constitutes a materials research core at MIT, concentrating on major            problem areas of scientific and technical interest which require                multi-disciplinary, multi-investigator research.  The research is               organized into five thrust areas which comprise research on flow and            fracture in high temperature alloys; defects in semiconductors; phase           transitions; polymers; and a new industry-university cooperative                initiative addressing innovations in the technology of high strength            steels.  This research addresses innovation in the technology of                high-strength steels, with the aim of understanding and controlling             metallurgical microstructure on an unprecedentedly fine scale in                commercial alloys.  Its theme is to advance and apply basic principles          in physical metallurgy and related disciplines as a foundation for              novel concepts in alloy design.
