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).

International Congress on Advanced Materials Sciences and Engineering

Mr. Robert Purgert was invited to present the findings from the U.S. Advanced UltraSuperCritical project at the AMSE international Conference held in Vienna, Austria during March 2023. Mr. Purgert made his presentation to an interested audience, particularly given Europe's energy constraints as a reult of the Ukraine war. Mr. Purgert also chaired Session 6-3: Materials and Technologies for Energy Conversion, Saving and Storage and found the conference very worthwhile given the international energy environment.
