Sandia National Laboratories – Advanced Materials Laboratory (AML)

The Advanced Materials Laboratory (AML) is one of seven laboratories that comprise Sandia’s Materials Science and Engineering Center. The Center has expertise in the development and testing of materials and coatings for marine renewable energy. Staff also collaborate with other Sandia programs focused on reliability, non-destructive inspection, modeling and simulation, and systems engineering.

Corrosion/degradation testing for materials and coatings. Additive and advanced manufacturing and processing is a differentiating strength of the AML. This capability could be employed for the testing of polymer membranes, anti-fouling and corrosion resistant coatings, and high-speed roll-to-roll manufacturing.

Capabilities include:

• Materials Synthesis and Processing
• Additive Manufacturing (Printing)
• Novel Inks for Printing Capabilities
• Precursor Development
• Composites
• Polymers
• Ceramics
• Metals
• Corrosion
• Coatings
• Materials Characterization & Performance Evaluation
