Available Technologies

In additive manufacturing, choice of process parameters for a given material and geometry can result in porosities in the build volume, which can result in scrap.

A novel method that prevents detachment of an optical fiber from a metal/alloy tube and allows strain measurement up to higher temperatures, about 800 C has been developed. Standard commercial adhesives typically only survive up to about 400 C.

Sintering additives to improve densification and microstructure control of UN provides a facile approach to producing high quality nuclear fuels.

Test facilities to evaluate materials compatibility in hydrogen are abundant for high pressure and low temperature (<100C).

Sensing of additive manufacturing processes promises to facilitate detailed quality inspection at scales that have seldom been seen in traditional manufacturing processes.

The technologies provide a coating method to produce corrosion resistant and electrically conductive coating layer on metallic bipolar plates for hydrogen fuel cell and hydrogen electrolyzer applications.

The use of Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition to coat particles or fibers is inherently slow and capital intensive, as it requires constant modifications to the equipment to account for changes in the characteristics of the substrates to be coated.

The technology provides a transformational approach to digitally manufacture structural alloys with co- optimized strength and environmental resistance

An innovative low-cost system for in-situ monitoring of strain and temperature during directed energy deposition.

This invention is about a multifunctional structured packing device that can simultaneously facilitate heat and mass transfer in packed distillation, absorption, and liquid extraction columns, as well as in multiphase reactors.
