High-efficient abrasive waterjet machining of complex curved surfaces

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This project aims to develop an abrasive waterjet process technology that is expected to increase the manufacturing efficiency by 4 times for complex curved surface structures such as the integral impellers and blisks used in turbine machines and aeroengines. It will also explore the science associated with the energy dissipation process for ultrahigh velocity abrasive waterjets and the curved surface generation process by the impact of a cloud of numerous particles. The intended outcome will break a technological barrier and make it entirely possible for the wide use of integral impellers and blisks in airplanes to significantly increase fuel efficiency. The economic, social and environmental benefit is expected to be enormous.
