LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT OF COLD SPRAY ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING AND CONVENTIONAL MACHINING OF ALUMINUM ALLOY FLANGE

Life Cycle Assessment of Cold Spray Additive Manufacturing and Conventional Machining of Aluminum Alloy Flange

Cold spray additive manufacturing (CSAM) is generally used to repair worn components and build complex on-demand parts by depositing metal powder layer-wise using compressed air.Previous studies on CSAM were focused on printing parameters, materials properties, and printed part mechanical performance.However, the energy consumption and environmenta

Influence of aeration induced by piers on the starting position of the flow aeration and extreme pressures in stepped spillways

ABSTRACT The operation of stepped spillways is limited by a range of discharges due to the risk of occurrence of the cavitation phenomenon and erosion on its steps.Since there is a Rolling Paper demand for spillways with the possibility of overflow of greater discharges, the designs seek to increase the air concentration of the flow, which can occu
