Available Technologies

The technologies provide additively manufactured thermal protection system.

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.

V-Cr-Ti alloys have been proposed as candidate structural materials in fusion reactor blanket concepts with operation temperatures greater than that for reduced activation ferritic martensitic steels (RAFMs).

This invention focuses on improving the ceramic yield of preceramic polymers by tuning the crosslinking process that occurs during vat photopolymerization (VP).

With the ever-growing reliance on batteries, the need for the chemicals and materials to produce these batteries is also growing accordingly. One area of critical concern is the need for high quality graphite to ensure adequate energy storage capacity and battery stability.

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

Using all polymer formulations, the PIP densification is improved almost 70% over traditional preceramic polymers and PIP material leading to cost and times saving for densifying ceramic composites made from powder or fibers.

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 system and method of needling of veiled AS4 fabric tape.

A bonded carbon fiber monolith was made using a coal-based pitch precursor without a binder.
