ASETSDefense Home Page

The ASETSDefense Program is sponsored by the Department of Defense environmental SERDP and ESTCP Programs and the website is managed by Rowan Technology Group. The ASETSDefense Member Workspace is an information resource and data repository for research, development, test and evaluation of clean technologies in the surface engineering field. The aim is to improve performance and life-cycle cost while reducing or eliminating environmental safety and occupational health (ESOH) impacts. At present, the web site mainly contains information that had been available under the Hard Chrome Alternatives Team (HCAT) Program. It is expanding to include cadmium and chromate replacements, as well as other ESOH concerns, such as the European REACH regulations.

The Member Workspace is used both as a data library and as an interactive workspace for collaborative team projects. It incorporates a Surface Engineering Database, which is being developed to provide all the detailed engineering data and background detail needed to implement new, clean technologies.

New sections are being added as needed to meet the needs of the user community for information and tools for adopting cleaner, better technologies.

This website is being improved with a new look and more comprehensive information to assist DoD personnel in response to the Memo from USD Mr. Young "Minimizing the Use of Hexavalent Chromium (Cr6+)" issued April 9, 2009.
