Projects

Liquid Hydrogen Valve Optimization

Power Generation

Project details

Reverse engineered from an off-the-shelf brass valve, this 316 H stainless steel valve was optimized for cryogenic temperatures involved in liquid hydrogen transportation. It features multi-alloy print capabilities to selectively reinforce the valve seat with a superalloy without requiring a complete redesign.

Gen IV Reactor Superalloy Bearings

Nuclear

Project details

Custom designed and manufactured bearings for sodium fast nuclear reactors using wire-laser directed energy deposition (DED) hybrid manufacturing. These components use high-performance alloys (including Nickel 718, AWS 5.21 ERCoCr-A, and H11 tool steel) to perform in corrosive environments with temperatures approaching 1000 degrees Fahrenheit.

Hardened Sprue Bushings

Industrial

Project details

Produced multi-material sprue bushings with an Inconel 718 core and a mild steel outer body for use in polymer and composite mold tooling. This design provides high temperature and wear resistance at the core while maintaining machinability and cost control on the outer body.

Thermoplastic Composite Heliostat Structures

Power Generation

Project details

Developed thermoplastic composite heliostat structures engineered to reduce weight while maintaining high stiffness under wind loads in demanding outdoor environments.
