The University of New Mexico, in collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), proposes to develop a bimetallic composite, Incoloy 800H/Ni-201, and test it under flowing FLiBe to investigate key high temperature mechanical behavior to support its ASME codification, and to quantify the performance gain of this bimetallic composite over single  lloy candidates (Incoloy 800H, Hastelloy N, and SS 316).
