Abstract: An alloy comprising by weight percent: 16.0-26.0 Cr; 23.0-34.0 Mo; 21.0-31.0 Ta; 0.50-3.5 Ti; and 17.0-27.0 V.

Abstract: A refractory metal alloy includes at least three metal components. At least one of the metal components is a refractory metal selected from the group of Mo, Nb, W, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Y, Zr, Hf, Ta, Fe, Co, Al, Mn. The refractory metal alloy also includes two nonmetal components. The refractory metal alloy comprises non-trace amounts of each of the metal components and each of the nonmetal components. A component is also disclosed.

Abstract: A coating system for a turbine engine component is disclosed. The coating system includes a substrate, an optional bond coat, a synthetic oxide layer and a top coat. The synthetic oxide layer is formed by atomic layer deposition and includes two or more oxides.

Abstract: A thin film electrode is fabricated from a non-metallic, non-conductive porous support structure having pores with micrometer-range diameters. The support may include a polymer film. A first surface of the support is metalized, and the pores are partially metallized to create metal tubes having a thickness within a range of 50 to 150 nanometers, in contact with the metal layer. An active material is disposed within metalized portions of the pores. An electrolyte is disposed within non-metalized portions of the pores. Active materials may be selected to create an anode and a cathode. Non-metalized surfaces of the anode and cathode may be contacted to one another to form a battery cell, with the non-metalized electrolyte-containing portions of the anode facing the electrolyte-containing portions of the cathode pores. A battery cell may be fabricated as, for example, a nickel-zinc battery cell.
