| Abstract Scope |
The need to lower costs in the production of thermal energy storage systems while also trying to increase their performance has led to the possibility of utilizing AM. It is critical to first know and understand how to characterize AM of a material like 316L which is relatively low in cost compared to Inconel and others. This talk will highlight the research carried out at NIU’s ARMM lab highlighting the ability to monitor in-situ builds of 316L and how we have managed to achieve repeatability across various power levels. This will lay the foundation for future work which will involve the addition of nano-encapuslated PCM’s to help vastly improve the corrosion performance of 316L. |
