High strength, oxidation resistant refractory alloys are difficult to fabricate for commercial use in extreme environments.
As additive manufacturing technologies advance and 3D-printers get larger, there is a constant need for larger extruders with higher throughput to construct larger objects at reasonable time.
The first wall and blanket of a fusion energy reactor must maintain structural integrity and performance over long operational periods under neutron irradiation and minimize long-lived radioactive waste.
ORNL has developed a new hybrid additive manufacturing technique to create complex three-dimensional shapes like air foils and wind generator blades much more quickly.
ORNL researchers have developed a new method for producing thermoset foam insulation with improved processing and installation outcomes.
The ID provides a solution approach for faster chemical processing and carbon functional grading from SiC to MC to provide a tougher carbon and CMC structure.
The solution proposed here is a modified carbon-based tile face that is mechanically combined with an insulative backing. The tile face is based on a material architecture to minimize weight and thermal conductivity while maximizing thermal stability.
