Enhancing the Performance of Plasma-facing Materials Through Solute-stabilized Nanostructured Tungsten Alloys

Project: Research project

Project Details

Description

The proposed effort is a supplement to Professor Trelewicz’s DOE Fusion Energy Science’s Early CAREER program. In this proposed effort we will explore laser additive manufacturing (AM) as a viable processing route to introduce tailored nanostructures into advanced tungsten alloys while simultaneously mitigating the issues associated with the printing of pure tungsten. Ian McCue will be responsible for additive manufacturing of tungsten-base alloys, modeling the additive process via computational fluid dynamics, and the initial characterization. McCue will also collaborate with Trelewicz on thermodynamic alloy modeling, which will be used to inform Trelewicz’s atomistic simulations.
