4.2.1
Thermophysical property data of liquid alloys, like viscosity and surface tension, are key input parameters in numerical fluid simulations. For production processes with extreme conditions and under harsh environments, like in steel industry, these simulations are a promising option to gain a deeper insight into those processes that are difficult (or even impossible) to study by measurement...
One of the investigated concepts for Generation IV nuclear reactors is a molten salt-cooled reactor system. A critical aspect of this concept is the material selected for components of the primary and secondary circuits of the power source, which is exposed to extreme chemical and thermal loading. The loading arises both from aggressive chemical interactions with molten salts at elevated...
The reduced production times and costs and lower environmental impact of the Powder Bed Fusion-Laser Beam (PBF-LB) technology compared to conventional technologies for producing complex-shaped parts are generating keen interest in the industrial sector. Thanks to its peculiar microstructure, the PBF-LB AISI 316L stainless steel has higher pitting corrosion resistance and mechanical strength...
With the increasing demands of industry for materials capable of withstanding extreme conditions such as high temperatures, mechanical stress, and aggressive environments, nickel-based alloys are being increasingly employed. These materials play a key role in the production and maintenance of forging tools, offering an optimal combination of strength, durability, and stability due to their...
