This one-day course will support the strong high-temperature-related technical programming available at MS&T18 and will take a deeper look into the impacts of emerging technologies and their effect on three major sectors: academia, government, and industry.
Directed toward students and young professionals, instructors representing these sectors will focus on what they have observed, where they believe the technology is going in the next five to ten years, and how the emerging technologies will impact the industry.
The objective of this course is to provide insight into emerging technologies in the high-temperature materials arena. Program topics will include:
- An OEM Perspective
- HTA - Industrial Applications
- Emerging Trends in Turbine Materials
- Alloys and Coatings: High-Temperature Oxidation & Corrosion
- Refractory High Entropy Alloys
