... MSED should however continue to ensure the alloy melting furnaces been reviewed for atmospheric control and melting capacity both on a heat size and annual capacity basis; give consideration to upgrading the instrumentation of the laboratory rolling mill; and review or upgrade, as appropriate, metallographic preparation facilities in light of existing and new alloys being developed, and the expected amount of metallographic preparation required in the future.
