The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE) awarded a $500,000 Cooperative Agreement under the Renewable Energy Research and Development program (CFDA 81.087) to Tennessee Technological University (Tennessee Tech) to develop and evaluate novel oxidation- and erosion-resistant Tribaloy-based coatings for protecting critical concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) components.

The project aims to optimize the Tribaloy coatings on relevant alloys and evaluate their performance under conditions applicable to state-of-the-art CSP applications. The developed coatings are expected to offer improved oxidation/erosion resistance and compatibility with the substrate alloy, leading to increased component lifetime. Tennessee Tech is collaborating with Tennessee State University (TSU) on this project, with TSU investigating the effect of heat treatment on the coating microstructure and helping to characterize the coatings after oxidation/erosion testing. The project also includes efforts to engage underrepresented undergraduate and graduate students in solar energy-related research.
