PhD project: Enhancing power capture of tidal turbines using novel blade designs University of Southampton in United Kingdom

[Funding information states £21,805.] University of Warwick is offering a PhD studentship on NSF Swarf: A novel forging process for closed-loop recycling of metallic swarf . The project addresses a major challenge in manufacturing: machining can remove 60–90% of a component’s material, creating large quantities of swarf that are often discarded and mixed with other grades. This studentship explores a patented near-solidus forging approach in which pre-compacted swarf is heated to just below the ...
