The Materials Reliability Division (MRD) is one of five divisions in the Materials Science and Engineering Laboratory (MSEL) of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). MRD is the sole MSEL Division at the NIST Boulder Laboratories site. The Materials Reliability Division develops and demonstrates measurement technologies and standards which enable the producers and users of materials to improve the quality and reliability of their products. Measurement technologies are developed for process control to improve the quality and consistency of materials, nondestructive evaluation to assure quality of finished materials and products, and materials evaluation to assure reliable performance. Within these broad areas of measurement technology, Division Groups have focused their resources on these research themes:
