Evan has lead the ORNL effort on processing of iridium alloys that are used as primary fuel containment for power generation in all NASA deep space probes, development processing for stable iridium isotopes for use in medical application, and provided assistance in commercial processing of iridium. Additional research areas include tungsten alloy processing for friction stir weld tooling, niobium alloys for use in process equipment for aluminum alloy composites, molybdenum alloys for electrical conversion technology for spacecraft and for space reactor applications, and iron-base and titanium- base coating materials.
