Collaborative R&D Project 2017

What are the most suitable technologies and applicable parameters to trim SiC/SiC?

Challenge and Motivation

• SiC/SiC will become more relevant for the hot section of turbomachinery in the future
• Machining of SiC/SiC is not state of the art today
• Suitability/efficiency of possible machining technologies is unknown

Objectives

• Comparison of different machining technologies (milling/grinding & EDM) by experimental analysis
• Technological and economical benchmark
• Identification of potentials for optimization
