| Abstract Scope |
The US Department of Energy, Office of Fossil Energy sponsors a High Performance Materials program, which is managed by the National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL). This program enhances the nation’s industrial high-temperature materials supply chain by accelerating the development of improved steels, superalloys, and new advanced manufacturing methods, completing full-scale manufacturing trials of power plant components, and creating solutions to address challenges for both the existing fleet and future power systems. The program spans several areas of research such as Computational Materials Design, Advanced Structural Materials, Functional Materials for Process Performance and Advanced Manufacturing, and seeks to solve various costs and challenges faced by multiple industries. In the context of this symposium, past and current work related to high entropy alloys sponsored by the program will be reviewed along with a more general update on the various other materials being developed for extreme environments. |
