Electrical utility substations are wired with intelligent electronic devices (IEDs), such as protective relays, power meters, and communication switches.
ORNL researchers have developed a new method for producing thermoset foam insulation with improved processing and installation outcomes.
Complex protective casings and housings are necessary for many applications, including combustion chambers of gas turbines used in aerospace engines. Manufacturing these components from forging and/or casting as a whole is challenging, costly, and time-consuming.
Real-time tracking and monitoring of radioactive/nuclear materials during transportation is a critical need to ensure safety and security. Current technologies rely on simple tagging, using sensors attached to transport containers, but they have limitations.
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.
