ODS Steel made by Additive Manufacturing

Background Hybrid compact heat exchangers are being considered as secondary heat exchangers for supercritical carbon dioxide (sCO2) power plants. Architecture for efficient heat exchangers require thin sidewalls between the sCO2 channels and other fluid (e.g., molten salt). Generally, a stiff, corrosion‐resistant material capable of high temperature...
