During his October 2023 visit to Poland, Robert Purgert, President of Energy Industries of Ohio, was presented with the prestigious "Honorary Gold Shield" from the Polish Foundry Society Technical Committee for his long-standing association and joint efforts with the Polish Foundry Industry. Among the many activities and accomplishments over more than 25 years of collaboration with various Polish Foundry organizations, Institutes, companies, and Universities, was the production of the world's largest high temperature nickel super alloy H282 casting. That project successfully demonstrated that large (10 ton) castings were possible with the goal of use in power generation applications and was conducted in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Energy, Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Poland's AGH University of Science and Technology (Foundry Engineering).

$70 Million 15 Year Advanced Materials Program Completed

The high temperature/high pressure advanced materials development program conducted by an industrial consortium led by the Energy Industries of Ohio has published its final report completing this $70 Million, 15 year effort.  This effort, where EIO was the prime contractor and the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) acted as the technical lead organization, identified and qualified a number of materials capable of operating under extreme conditions. These conditions are needed for future power generation systems that include nuclear, solar concentrators and fossil plants that will operate with considerably lower emissions. The project was funded by the Ohio Coal Development Office, the U.S. Department of Energy with cost share from EPRI, Babcock & Wilcox, Alstom Power, Foster Wheeler, Babcock Power, General Electric and Siemens Westinghouse.
