TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: AddiSteel HT

Additively Manufactured Ferritic Steel with Enhanced High-Temperature Performance Grade 91 steel is one of the most widely used structural metals in power plants and candidate for advanced nuclear reactors, but it loses much of its strength when operating temperatures climb above 500°C. Researchers at Los Alamos National Laboratory solved that problem by 3D-printing Grade 91 steel using a powder bed fusion process with carefully tuned laser settings. The rapid heating and cooling that occurs dur...
