June 2024 - TPMD - Update to TPMD

Version 15 of the Thermophysical Properties of Matter Database is now live on our webpage. This update adds 105 new materials to the database encompassing 56 properties. There were 426 new data sets in the update, with 964 new curves. The materials range from polymer matrix and nano particle composites to nickel and cobalt alloys. 

April 2024 - ASMD/HPAD/AHAD - Haynes 282 Updated Chapter

The chapter on Haynes 282 alloy has recently been revised.  Haynes 282 is a wrought superalloy which is strengthened via gamma-prime precipitation.  It was developed for high temperature structural applications such as aerospace and land-based turbine engines.  It is distinguished by its combination of creep strength, thermal stability, weldability, and fabricability.  Its creep strength excels in the range of 1200-1700 F.  Because its strength has been attained at relatively low volume fraction of gamma-prime phase, it exhibits outstanding resistance to strain-aged cracking as well.

Haynes 282 is applied in the combustors, turbine and exhaust sections as well as nozzle components of gas turbines.  It also finds applications in various power generation and automotive turbocharger components and other critical structures.  Product forms include sheet and plate as well as rings and closed-die forgings. 

March 2024 - MCMD - Update to MCMD

We have recently released Version 2 of the Microelectronic and Composite Materials Database (MCMD). This addition includes 43 new materials in 9 different property groups. There are 115 different properties included in the 311 datasets and 868 curves. Among the materials included are many varieties of carbon fiber nanocomposites, carbon nanotubes, multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNT), graphene-epoxy composites, and metal matrix composites as well as many 3D printed materials, including AM Ti-6Al4V. Please look at the Table of Contents to see the vast array of materials and properties included in the MCMD.

December 2023 - ASMD/HPAD/AHAD - Update to Inconel 617

Inconel 617 is a Ni-Cr-Co-Mo alloy that possesses a combination of high-temperature strength and corrosion resistance. It is both weldable and is readily formable through conventional techniques.  IN-617 attains its properties through solid solution strengthening.

IN-617 is approved for pressure vessels in nuclear reactors. It can now be used in the design and construction of the next generation of nuclear reactors including molten salt, high-temperature, gas-cooled and sodium reactors. 

The alloy is applicable in high-temperature reactors because it resists corrosion and remains dimensionally stable over time at temperatures more than twice the temperatures seen in light water reactors. The nickel, chromium, cobalt and molybdenum alloy can be used in reactors that operate up to 950oC. The developmental and testing project (funded by the Department of Energy) took over twelve years at the Idaho National Lab, followed by the approval process which took over three years, with approval finally given in 2019.

In addition to the importance of future nuclear reactor design, IN-617 can be used in natural gas power plants and other high-temperature applications.
