PhD Studentship: NSF Swarf: A Novel Forging Processes for Closed Loop Recycling of Metallic Swarf

University of Warwick

  • Coventry, United Kingdom
  • Dr. Carl Slater

Start date – 1 st March 2027 (latest) Project Description Machining generates large quantities of swarf, with many components losing 60–90% of their material during the machining stage. This swarf is typically collected and discarded, where it becomes mixed with other grades and loses much of its inherent value. The University of Warwick has recently secured a patent for a novel forging technique in which pre-compacted swarf is heated to just below the melting point of the material and then deformed. Done correctly, this fusion bonds the material together. The route allows waste swarf to be fo
