Zusammenfassung:	The University of Missouri-Rolla was able to purchase a Kratos XPS Spectroscopy System, from Kratos Analytical, Valley Center, CA, 92082, for $465,000. AFOSR supplied $183,000 and the University supplied $282,000. The system is operational and supports the AFOSR projects entitled Development of Environmentally Safe Aircraft Coatings'. We have been able to determine the ratio of Ce(+3)/Ce(+4) in the Cerium Conversion Coatings which is important in the development of these materials for use as a replacement of Chrome Conversion Coatings for Aircraft aluminum alloys. We have developed Cerium Conversion Coatings which pass 336 hours salt fog testing. We are working to develop a primer system that will pass 2000 hours salt fog testing. Additional grant # F49620-96-1-0140.
