REVAMP (REcovery of material VAlue by reusing Metal machining waste as high-value Powder feedstock) is an ambitious project that aims at conducting a feasibility study on research collaboration between UK and India on metal waste recycling. The project addresses the challenge of recycling metal waste from machining operations, such as milling, drilling, turning and grinding, where current recycling approaches are either labour and energy intensive or deliver suboptimal material properties. The project proposes a route for reusing by which machining waste is converted into high-value powder feedstock that could be used in additive manufacturing and powder metallurgy processes to manufacture high-integrity components. This approach promises to significantly reduce energy consumption, increase recycling yield and maintain quality and performance of the resulting powder. The proposed approach faces key challenges that need to be addressed, such as optimisation of the conversion process, cleaning and minimising contamination, characterisation and reclassification of the produced powder, in addition to process scalability. REVAMP will deliver a feasibility study to explore a potential collaboration between the MTC and a number of Indian research organisations to address these challenges. The feasibility study will include a market research on metal waste recycling and reusing in India, including key research organisations and companies involved in the sector. It will also report on a capability mapping exercise, where relevant know-how and expertise both in India and the UK are identified and potential gaps are highlighted. The study will conclude with proposing potential research areas where the innovative capabilities of both parties are harnessed.

REVAMP（通过将金属加工废料重新用作高价值粉末原料来回收材料价值）是一个雄心勃勃的项目，旨在对英国和印度之间在金属废料回收方面的研究合作进行可行性研究。该项目解决了从铣削、钻孔、车削和磨削等加工操作中回收金属废料的挑战，目前的回收方法要么是劳动密集型和能源密集型，要么材料性能不佳。该项目提出了一种再利用途径，将机械加工废料转化为高价值粉末原料，可用于增材制造和粉末冶金工艺，以制造高完整性部件。这种方法有望显着降低能耗、提高回收率并保持所得粉末的质量和性能。所提出的方法面临着需要解决的关键挑战，除了工艺可扩展性之外，例如转化过程的优化、清洁和最小化污染、所生产粉末的表征和重新分类。 REVAMP 将开展可行性研究，探索 MTC 与一些印度研究组织之间的潜在合作，以应对这些挑战。可行性研究将包括对印度金属废物回收和再利用的市场研究，包括参与该行业的主要研究组织和公司。它还将报告能力映射演习，其中确定了印度和英国的相关技术和专业知识，并强调了潜在的差距。该研究的最后将提出利用双方创新能力的潜在研究领域。
