Nickel-based Alloys
We are applying our Materials by Design® computational, physics-based ICME approach and technology to rapidly invent, design and develop superior nickel-based alloys for wide-ranging service, such as:
Cost-Effective Oxidation- and Creep-Resistant Alloys
Summary
In 2009 we began a U.S. Department of Energy-funded SBIR Phase I project to design and develop an oxidation- and creep-resistant alloy for next-generation, high-temperature, advanced ultra-super critical coal-fired power plant boilers, which by operating at much higher temperature can significantly increase power plant efficiency and reduce CO2 emissions.

No material is currently available for testing, evaluation or use; please do not contact us at this time to request samples of this developmental alloy. We’re always interested in speaking with potential licensees and with major end-users/OEMs about material needs and industry developments.
Brazeable, High Temperature Ni-based Superalloy
Summary
In 2009 we completed a National Science Foundation-funded SBIR Phase I project to design a new high performance Ni-based superalloy material for heat exchanger applications (such as plate-fin heat exchangers), seeking a significantly higher service temperature capabilities than previously achievable. Other key requirements included good quench suppressibility, hot and cold workability, and brazability. Higher operating temperatures can improve thermodynamic cycle operating efficiency and reduce component weight and volume.
