A JBNU–KIMS collaborative study on a cost-effective alloy matches superalloys for power plants and energy infrastructure
Jeonbuk National University, Sustainable Strategy team, Planning and Coordination DivisionPeer-Reviewed Publication
There is an increasing demand for novel materials with high-temperature oxidation resistance in harsh environments. Now, a joint research team from Jeonbuk National University and Korea Institute of Materials Science have demonstrated promising alumina-forming ferritic alloys that exhibit high-temperature oxidation resistance even under prolonged steam exposure. They achieve an outstanding balance between steam oxidation resistance, high-temperature strength, and cost- effectiveness, making them lucrative for high-temperature structural applications in extreme environments.
