The Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory will participate in three research projects that have been awarded $10.2 million in funding from DOE’s Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy. The funding will be used to develop new alloys, membranes and batteries for energy applications. ORNL received the competitive awards from ARPA-E’s OPEN 2015 program, which serves as an open call to scientists and engineers for transformational technologies outside the scope of ARPA-E’s existing focused programs. Through both open and focused solicitations, ARPA-E funds technologies that display technical promise and commercial impact but are too early for private-sector investment. ORNL leads two ARPA-E OPEN 2015 awards and is a partner on a project led by University of Michigan. New High-Temperature, Corrosion-Resistant Cast Alloy For Operation in Industrial Gaseous Environments, led by ORNL with partners University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, Duraloy Technologies, MetalTek International and ArcelorMittal USA, will receive $3.9 million. Researchers led by ORNL’s Govindarajan Muralidharan will develop new cast alumina-forming alloys, along with associated casting and welding processes for component fabrication.
