Primary Technical Goals of US A-USC Materials Programs
Materials technology evaluation
– Focus on nickel-based alloys
– Development of fabrication and joining technology for new
alloys
Unique conditions for US program considerations
– Higher-temperatures than other international Programs (760°C
versus 700°C) means additional alloys evaluated
– For boiler:
Corrosion resistance for US coals
Data for ASME code acceptance of new materials
Evaluate the effect of combining technology with other carbon capture
technologies such as Oxycombustion
