Abstract Scope |
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI)'s Advanced Manufacturing Methods & Materials (AM3) Initiative is aimed at accelerating the application of advanced and additive manufacturing into new and developing energy systems including small modular reactors, advanced reactors, concentrating solar power plants, supercritical CO2 cycles, and low-carbon fueled combined cycle plants. Accelerated qualification requires codes & standards development, joint industry qualification activities, demonstrations, and collaborative supply chain engagement. This talk will focus on the importance of relevant high-temperature testing and post-test characterization as foundational to these activities. Topics covered will include: the performance of stainless steel and nickel-based alloy diffusion bonded compact heat exchangers in the creep regime, additively manufactured superalloy gas turbine guide vanes and opportunities for further improvement, and progress on the evaluation of directed energy deposition stainless steel valve bodies and pressure retention components for nuclear reactors and other energy applications which will require code approvals. |
