This work involves the development of low Ni Austenitic alloys for hydrogen service applications. The goal is to reduce the cost of the alloys by substituting other alloying elements for Ni and by increasing the material’s strength including the use of short range ordering.

This work involves the development of compact or printed heat exchange fabrication and performance for enhancing heat transfer efficiency for energy applications. The research involves developing optimal bonding between thin layers of high strength, high temperature alloys and assessing the tensile, creep and creep-fatigue performance.

This work involves the development of additively manufactured components for energy systems to enhance component performance and reduce fabrication costs and materials wastage. The technique involve ‘printing’ complex components and component shapes which can perform well in extreme corrosive and high temperature environments for advanced energy applications.
