Abstract: Tensile tests were performed on a reference heat of type 304 stainless steel (heat 9T2796) in the laboratory reannealed condition. Testing temperatures ranged from 25 to 760 deg C (77 to 1400 ...

Abstract: Developments during the past twenty-five years are outlined for the technology of ferrous alloys needed in elevated temperature service. These developments include new alloys with improved strength ...

Abstract: A number of materials issues related to the design of piping and support components in high-temperature fluidized bed combustor systems were examined. These issues included the availability of ...

Abstract: Recuperators are considered essential hardware to achieve the efficiencies desired for advanced microturbines. Compact recuperator technologies, including primary surface, plate and fin, and spiral, ...

Abstract: An experimental investigation was conducted on Haynes Alloy 556 to study the fatigue behavior of the material at elevated temperatures. Fatigue tests were run at constant temperatures ranging ...

Abstract: Two of the proposed high temperature gas reactors (HTGRs) under consideration for a demonstration plant have the design object of avoiding creep effects in the reactor pressure vessel during ...

Abstract: We are grateful to Dr. Richard N. Wright of the Idaho National Laboratory for the support of this work. We thank Mr. Masanori Ando of the Japan Atomic Energy Agency for providing the data ...
