The Materials for eXtreme Environments group covers material science research into alloys to be used in high temperature conditions. These includes applications in:
- Nuclear fusion, with tungsten alloys
- Generation IV nuclear fission, with zirconium alloys
- Jet engine turbine blades, with titanium superalloys
- Concentrated solar power, with chromium alloys
You can learn a bit more about those different class of alloys and the research projects associated in the different pages of this section.
