Advanced High-Temperature Materials Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab that creates materials able to withstand the high temperatures of jet engines and power generation plants.
AboutAbout the lab
Materials built to last in extreme high-temperature environments.
The Advanced High-Temperature Materials Engineering Lab develops heat-resistant materials for harsh high-temperature environments, as well as high-temperature corrosion-resistant coatings.
Its targets are materials for equipment that converts heat into energy, such as jet engines, power generation boilers, and gas turbines.
Drawing on materials microstructure science, thermodynamics, and strength of materials, the lab conducts fundamental research to improve strength at high temperatures and resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
The lab pursues materials with long service life and high reliability.
Key terms
- High-temperature corrosion-resistant coating
- A film applied to the surface of a material to make it resistant to corrosion even when exposed to high-temperature gases and similar environments
- Gas turbine
- An engine that burns fuel and uses the force of the resulting gas to spin a turbine wheel, extracting mechanical power or electricity
- Materials microstructure science
- The study of how crystals and other features are arranged inside a material (its microstructure) and how this relates to the material's properties
ResearchResearch themes
The lab develops heat-resistant materials for harsh high-temperature environments, as well as high-temperature corrosion-resistant coatings. Targeting heat conversion equipment such as power generation boilers and gas turbines, it conducts fundamental research to improve strength at high temperatures and resistance to oxidation and corrosion.
*Illustrative imageErosion-Corrosion
The lab works to clarify the phenomenon of high-temperature erosion-corrosion that occurs in the superheater tubes of waste-to-energy boilers.
*Illustrative imageCorrosion of Power Boiler Piping
The lab studies corrosion that occurs in the tube materials of power generation boilers. It is also exploring ways to improve the corrosion resistance of the piping used to extract steam in geothermal power generation.
*Illustrative imageOxidation Resistance of Jet Engine Components
The lab researches ways to improve the oxidation resistance of jet engine blades. It also investigates the high-temperature corrosion behavior of gas turbine components and the relationship between the microstructure and oxidation resistance of Ni-based superalloys.
*Illustrative imageAlumina-Forming Heat-Resistant Steel
The lab develops austenitic heat-resistant steels that form a film of alumina (aluminum oxide) on their surface, aiming to create steels that resist high-temperature oxidation.
