The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide federal funding to Mississippi State University (MSU) to develop an additive manufacturing process for the fabrication of solar absorber tubes. As part of the project, Laser Additive Alloying (LAA) technologies would be used to fabricate material samples and solar absorber tubes with internal fins and external structures.
