A -- HIGH TEMPERATURE CATALYTIC CERMET MATERIALS Contact Mr. A. Patrick Pinto. Lockheed Martin Idaho Technologies (LMIT), P.O. box 1625, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3805; a management and operating contractor for the Department of Energy (DOE) at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory (INEL) is seeking an industrial Coopertaive Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) partner for developing net shaped high temperature catalytic cermet materials. This not an opportunity to provide goods or services to LMIT or the DOE. Specific material properties include light weight, mechanical strength, controlled coefficient of thermal expansion, high melting temperature, excellent resistance to thermal shock and oxidation, can be fabricated with controlled porosity, and can be brazed to existing structural configurations. The materials are catalytic to steam reforming, partial oxidation of hydrocarbons to syn-gas, and to complete NOx destruction at 800 degrees C under mildly reducing conditions. In addition to completing the research, LMIT's contribution to the CRADA will be the proprietary technology and preparation of the patent application depending upon the success of the research. Royalty and profit sharing between the partners will be negotiated at the time the CRADA is established. The closing date for this solicitation is 30 days from the date of the notice. Interested companies should send a written expression of interest, along with information describing the technical capabilities of the company and a financial statement to: Mr. A. Patrick Pinto, LMIT, P.O. Box 1625, 2525 N. Fremont, Idaho Falls, ID 83415-3805. Phone: 208-526-1543. (057)
