TEMA
Production and Maintenance Technologies applied to Aeronautical Thrusters
Objective of the research project
The project aims to introduce new mechanical processing methods for chip removal, supported by numerical optimization models, and to develop an innovative laser deposition system for the development of new repair procedures capable of recovering components with high technological content and high cost, currently not repairable.
Goal of the training program
To train 7 professional profiles for research activities aimed at the introduction, at an industrial level, of new mechanical processing methods and numerical forecasting optimization models.
- validation of the optimal technology for High Speed Machining
- validation of the optimal technology for cryogenic cutting operations
- study of simulation models of the distortions induced on thin-walled components by chip removal processes
- development of an advanced laser deposition system for innovative repairs
- achievement of high levels of efficiency and competitiveness of mechanical manufacturing processes;
- reduction of onerous machine testing activities, both for the start-up of new programs and for the introduction of changes to the production cycles of already active processes;
- recovery of components with high technological content and high unit value, currently considered non-repairable.
