Precision Metal Additive Manufacturing

Precision Metal Additive Manufacturing

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a fast-growing sector with the ability to evoke a revolution in manufacturing due to its almost unlimited design freedom and its capability to produce personalised parts locally and with efficient material use. AM companies however still face technological challenges such as limited precision due to shrinkage built-in stresses and limited process stability and robustness. Moreover often post-processing is needed due to high roughness and remaining porosity. Qualified trained personnel are also in short supply. In recent years there have been dramatic improvements in AM design methods process control post-processing material properties and material range. However if AM is going to gain a significant market share it must be developed into a true precision manufacturing method. The production of precision parts relies on three principles: Production is robust (i. e. all sensitive parameters can be controlled). Production is predictable (for example the shrinkage that occurs is acceptable because it can be predicted and compensated in the design). Parts are measurable (as without metrology accuracy repeatability and quality assurance cannot be known). AM of metals is inherently a high-energy process with many sensitive and inter-related process parameters making it susceptible to thermal distortions defects and process drift. The complete modelling of these processes is beyond current computational power and novel methods are needed to practicably predict performance and inform design. In addition metal AM produces highly textured surfaces and complex surface features that stretch the limits of contemporary metrology. With so many factors to consider there is a significant shortage of background material on how to inject precision into AM processes. Shortage in such material is an important barrier for a wider uptake of advanced manufacturing technologies and a comprehensive book is thus needed. This book aims to inform the reader how to improve the precision of metal AM processes by tackling the three principles of robustness predictability and metrology and by developing computer-aided engineering methods that empower rather than limit AM design. Richard Leach is a professor in metrology at the University of Nottingham and heads up the Manufacturing Metrology Team. Prior to this position he was at the National Physical Laboratory from 1990 to 2014. His primary love is instrument building from concept to final installation and his current interests are the dimensional measurement of precision and additive manufactured structures. His research themes include the measurement of surface topography the development of methods for measuring 3D structures the development of methods for controlling large surfaces to high resolution in industrial applications and the traceability of X-ray computed tomography. He is a leader of several professional societies and a visiting professor at Loughborough University and the Harbin Institute of Technology. Simone Carmignato is a professor in manufacturing engineering at the University of Padua. His main research activities are in the areas of precision manufacturing dimensional metrology and industrial computed tomography. He is the author of books and hundreds of scientific papers and he is an active member of leading technical and scientific societies.

Mining and the Environment From Ore to Metal

Mining and the Environment From Ore to Metal

The history of mining is replete with controversy of which much is related to environmental damage and consequent community outrage. Over recent decades this has led to increased pressure to improve the environmental and social performance of mining operations particularly in developing countries. The industry has responded by embracing the ideals of sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Mining and the Environment identifies and discusses the wide range of social and environmental issues pertaining to mining with particular reference to mining in developing countries from where many of the project examples and case studies have been selected. Following an introductory overview of pressing issues the book illustrates how environmental and social impact assessment such as defined in The Equator Principles integrates with the mining lifecycle and how environmental and social management aims to eliminate the negative and accentuate the positive mining impacts. Practical approaches are provided for managing issues ranging from land acquisition and resettlement of Indigenous peoples to the technical aspects of acid rock drainage and mine waste management. Moreover thorough analyses of ways and means of sharing non-transitory mining benefits with host communities are presented to allow mining to provide sustainable benefits for the affected communities. This second edition of Mining and the Environment includes new chapters on Health Impact Assessment Biodiversity and Gender Issues all of which have become more important since the first edition appeared a decade ago. The wide coverage of issues and the many real-life case studies make this practice-oriented book a reference and key reading. It is intended for environmental consultants engineers regulators and operators in the field and for students to use as a course textbook. As much of the matter applies to the extractive industries as a whole it will also serve environmental professionals in the oil and gas industries. Karlheinz Spitz and John Trudinger both have multiple years of experience in the assessment of mining projects around the world. The combination of their expertise and knowledge about social economic and environmental performance of mining and mine waste management has resulted in this in-depth coverage of the requirements for responsible and sustainable mining. | Mining and the Environment From Ore to Metal
