This federal contract award to Materials Research & Design Inc. (Mr&D), a small business subchapter S corporation based in Wayne, Pennsylvania, is focused on developing a durability model for ceramic matrix composite (CMC) environmental barrier coatings (EBC). The $118,914 Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) Phase I contract, awarded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), aims to advance the understanding of EBC durability for CMC turbine blades. This research is critical as the power density of advanced engines increases, requiring new high-temperature materials like CMCs to enable longer life, reduced emissions, and improved performance over conventional superalloy blades. The contract will develop a custom finite element modeling tool to simulate the kinetic reactions of the EBC with turbine exhaust, building on Mr&D's prior work modeling the oxidation of carbon fiber in reentry environments. This award represents an important step in facilitating the inclusion of CMCs in future engine designs.
