R-NOZZLE - Rotating nozzle
Overview
Objectives:
The Project R-NOZZLE aimed to find out a way to produce 360ยบ components for aircraft engines by combination of near-net-shape rolled ring process, plus machining. In particular the design and manufacturing of rotating exhaust nozzle of the CROR was targeted. The materials to be used for this development were Inconel718 and Titanium Alloy. Thus, the project looked for a cost effective way of producing conical cylindrical components of about 1m diameter in these alloys. The project includes the design and verified compliance with certification requirements of design and process. The aim was to get a cost-effective way of manufacturing, complex shapes part of aeroengines.
