Research projects on the U.S. Department of Energy Fossil Energy Materials Program are investigating the mechanisms of erosion and erosion-corrosion of alloys and cermets used in fossil energy systems. The aim is to obtain an understanding of erosion mechanisms that will provide the basis for the development or modification of alloys and cermets with improved erosion resistance. Projects on this program are outlined. Results of recent research activities are presented, and plans for future research are described.

Research Activities

The Advanced Research and Technology Development (AR&TD) Fossil Energy Materials Program is a multifaceted materials research and development program sponsored by the Office of Fossil Energy of the U.S. Department of Energy. The program is administered by the Office of Technical Coordination. In 1979, the Office of Fossil Energy assigned responsibilities for this program to the DOE Oak Ridge Operations Office (ORO) as the lead field office and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) as the lead national laboratory. Technical activities on the program are divided into three research thrust areas: structural ceramic composites, alloy development and mechanical properties, and corrosion and erosion of alloys. In addition, assessments and technology transfer are included in a fourth thrust area. This paper provides information on the structure of the program and summarizes some of the major research activities.

The U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Fossil Energy, through its Morgantown Energy Technology Center, has initiated a program for the application of less expensive fuels for use in gas turbines; the overall objective is to develop an environmentally sound integrated direct-fired, coal fueled gas turbine system which will produce cost-competitive energy. The fuel is coal and may be in several forms which include a micronized powder, a slurry (with water, methanol, etc.), or a minimally cleaned, coal-derived gas. The application of coal fuels to gas turbines raises a number of technical questions, a principal one being the development of deposits within the turbine. Several programs have been initiated, that are aimed at development of an understanding of turbine deposition from coal fuels. Some of DOE’s research activities which are discussed within this paper include efforts in: (a) nozzle cascade tests utilizing advanced and conventional blade cooling to minimize deposition, (b) bench-scale combustion/deposition tests, (c) laboratory research aimed at defining particle stickiness, and (d) theoretical efforts to model gas stream nucleation of particles and the resulting deposition on blades cooled to various temperatures.

Abstract. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), in order to provide injury surveillance for youth on farms in the U.S., partnered with the USDA to conduct the Childhood Agricultural Injury Survey (CAIS). CAIS data for all farm youth less than 20 years of age have been collected intermittently since 1998. CAIS data from 2012 indicated that an estimated 25.9 million youth lived on, worked on, or visited U.S. farms. These youth experienced almost 14,000 injuries while on the farm. The majority of these injuries occurred to males (7,290) and youth between the ages of 10 and 15 years (5,766). Approximately 20% (2,739) of the injuries were related to work being done on the farm. Youth living on the farm incurred 56% (7,784) of the injuries. An additional 5,771 injuries occurred to hired and visiting youth. Although youth injuries on farms have declined, the numbers are still unacceptably high. Additional research and detailed assessments of subsets of the youth population would help to better direct safety intervention programs and focus future research activities.
