Microstructural analysis and evaluation OF W and W/W2C composites for fusion application
Fusion technology has a great potential to safely provide an inexhaustible quantity of electricity without producing greenhouse gases and minimal hazardous waste compared to conventional energy sources, such as nuclear power plants. For materials intended for fusion plasma-facing applications, the essential properties are structural stability at elevated temperature, adequate thermal …
Development of SiC-based composite material for fusion application
Nuclear fusion offers a prospect of a safe, economical and environmentally friendly source of energy. For the advanced concepts of nuclear fusion, SiC-based fibre reinforced composites were proposed as a structural material for the first wall of the reactor vessel, enabling higher operating temperatures and efficiencies. Already developed techniques for …
Development of coatings on Ti6Al4V alloy for new generation bone implants with improved osseointegration
The aging of bone tissue, bone defects that form during the removal of cysts, tumours, genetic defects and other bone‐tissue‐related diseases, together with demands for a better quality of life, mean a requirement for materials, artificial or autogenous, that will have a long functionality and survivability under the body’s environmental …
Development of silicon carbide based implants with improved biocompatibility and mechanical properties
With emerging need for orthopaedic implants and prolonged exposure of organism to implants also problems connected to elution of metal ions that in some cases cause adverse reactions in the human body, emerge. The main aim of our work was therefore to investigate the potential of silicon carbide (SiC) to …
