DOE work leads to superalloys that stand up to power plant cycling

A six-year project backed by the U.S. Department of Energy and involving Energy Industries of Ohio Inc. and other partners has led to the manufacture of commercial-scale nickel superalloy components that are needed to enable higher-efficiency thermal power plants. The Advanced Ultra-Supercritical (AUSC) Component Testing (ComTest) Project aimed to fabricate full commercial-scale components to enable plants to operate with greater efficiency
