Simulations show nichrome microstructure could impact corrosion
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have reported evidence that small adjustments to a material’s atomic-level ordering can significantly affect the rate and extent of corrosion, even with identical baseline chemical compositions.
For the study, published recently in Corrosion Science, the team ran simulations for nichrome-based alloys, which have excellent strength, creep resistance, and tolerance to radiation-induced degradation, making them top candidates for use in molten salt reactors and other advanced energy systems.
Shuttles will run on a continuous loop from the Dayton Convention Center to the three central hotels:
Buses will wait approximately 10-15 minutes at each stop before proceeding along the route. If there is no bus present at the convention center, please speak with ANS Staff at the registration/help desk.
If there is no bus present at one of these hotels, please call Buckeye Charters (937) 879-3000 Reference Charter #34791. (Office not available after 4:00 pm.)
Sorry, Buses do not run to the South hotels.
Buses to the National Museum of the United States Air Force will load at 5:30 pm at the Dayton Convention Center.
Bus Service concludes at 9:00 pm
