  • Investigation of Thermal Degradation in Structural Alloys for Nuclear Power Systems

    Creator:
    Teng, Fei
    Abstract:
    The thermal degradation of structural materials is considered to be a key factor for evaluating the lifetime of current nuclear power plants. Ni-based and Fe-based alloys, such as 690, 625, 304, and 316, are widely used in nuclear industry as structural components due to the extraordinary corrosion resistance and mechanical...

  • Characterization and Development of Ni-based Superalloys for Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Applications

    Creator:
    Adam, Benjamin M.
    Abstract:
    The advent of supercritical CO2 as a new heat-exchange medium has seen strong interest from the power industry and the energy research field recently. It is advan- tageous in comparison with other heat-exchange cycles, as it can be operated safely at much higher temperatures and pressures, thus increasing the thermal...
