Notice of Request for Information (RFI)
on Accelerated Materials R&D, Testing/
Qualification, and Cost-Effective
Manufacturing Routes for Harsh
Service Environment Materials
Advanced Manufacturing
Office, Office of Energy Efficiency and
Renewable Energy, Office of Advanced
Energy Systems, Office of Fossil Energy,
Department of Energy.
ACTION: Request for Information (RFI).
AGENCY:
The Department of Energy
(DOE) invites public comment on its
Request for Information (RFI) number
DE–FOA–0002385 regarding the
MATERIALS FOR HARSH SERVICE
CONDITIONS R&D. This RFI is
sponsored by the Office of Energy
Efficiency and Renewable Energy
(EERE), Advanced Manufacturing Office
(AMO), and the Office of Fossil Energy
(FE), Office of Advanced Energy
Systems (AES). The purpose of this RFI
is to solicit feedback from industry,
academia, research laboratories,
government agencies, and other
stakeholders on issues related to
challenges and opportunities in various
aspects of harsh service environment
materials. These include: Accelerated
materials research, development, and
demonstration (RD&D), testing/
qualification methods, and cost-effective
manufacturing routes for the
development of components, systems,
and products exhibiting significant, or
step-change improvements over current
state-of-the-art in system energy
performance under harsh service
conditions and extended service
lifetimes. This information will be used
by AMO and AES to inform strategies in
support of energy savings and cost
reduction goals, as well as to inform
future planning and to possibly make
adjustments to their R&D portfolios.
DATES: Responses to the RFI must be
received by September 17, 2020.
ADDRESSES: Interested parties are to
submit comments electronically to
HarshMaterialsRFI@ee.doe.gov. Include
Harsh Service Materials R&D in the
subject of the title. Only electronic
responses will be accepted. The

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
purpose of this RFI is to solicit feedback
from industry, academia, research
laboratories, government agencies, and
other stakeholders on issues related to
challenges and opportunities in
accelerated materials RD&D, testing/
qualification methods, and cost effective
manufacturing routes for the
development of components, systems,
and products exhibiting significant, or
step-change improvements over current
state-of-the-art in system energy
performance under harsh service
conditions and extended service
lifetimes. Harsh environments include
high temperature and corrosive
environments, conditions of high
mechanical wear/stress/load, thermal
cycling and exposure to hydrogen,
irradiation, and other embrittlement
mechanisms. AMO and AES now seek
to gather input from stakeholders on the
technical and commercial prospects of
novel material development and new
manufacturing capabilities including
but not limited to the advantages and
technical challenges associated with
new material breakthroughs, strategies
for de-risking the cost and performance
of novel materials, and considerations
for scale-up of new materials
manufacturing methods. AMO and AES
seek individual input on high-reaching
targets/metrics and identification of key
problem sets to be addressed. The intent
is to define critical crosscutting
problems/barriers whose solutions
represent near-term commercially viable
paths to obtaining materials that can
produce a step change improvement in
energy performance under harsh service
conditions beyond current state of the
art. Specific questions can be found in
the RFI. The RFI is available at: https://
