元素希钦已被选中参与“TheBarCode”,一个主要的泛欧洲研究项目由欧洲委员会共同资助。从今年起,该研究将在2015年12月缔结并力图推动燃气轮机过程发电的效率和成本效益。
该项目将分配2,921,550欧元的预算,该项目将在八个不同国家的12个合作伙伴中看到基于英国的Element Hitchin工作。联盟将希望开发出改善的热屏障涂层零件或组件显着提高的性能,以及提供优化工艺参数的软件产品。研究将集中于长期稳定性,在极其严重的操作条件下的抵抗力和最大的应用温度。
“TheBarCode”程序的目的是利用创新的结构分析和流体仿真软件,包括辐射,燃烧,热传递,流体结构的相互作用和共轭传热模型,对于详细的模型的发展,为的剥落现象和失败的操作性能和预测。
Rick Sluiters, Element’s VP of Europe Operations, says: “Element Hitchin has developed a reputation as one of the leading materials testing laboratories in Europe, and involvement in this international endeavour is further evidence of its position at the leading edge of materials research, development and qualification. We are confident that this project will produce exciting developments in the production, testing methodology and analysis of advanced materials for use in the power generation market, knowledge that will be spread across Element’s global platform of laboratories and benefit the entire company.”
