Researchers at Argonne National Laboratory have developed a framework to accelerate the discovery of materials for nuclear reactors, reducing reliance on nickel-based alloys. This innovation supports clean energy goals by identifying corrosion-resistant, high-strength materials suitable for extreme reactor environments.
SURFACE PREPARATION · PROTECTIVE COATINGS Successful coating application starts with successful surface preparation. That can involve much more than cleaning or blasting: contractors may need to address worker safety, dust control, power supply, climate conditions, contaminants, old coatings, surface defects, grinding, profiling, and
