1. An Investigation into 'Squeezing'or Three-Body Wear caused by Abrasive Particles
University essay from KTH/MaterialvetenskapAbstract : Material wear is an ever present phenomenon and can never be completely removed in systems of moving parts. There will always be friction between materials, causing degradation of these materials and eventually the material will be worn out and have to be replaced. READ MORE

5. Material flows in the waterjet industry : an environmental perspective
University essay from Linköpings universitet/Industriell miljöteknik; Linköpings universitet/Tekniska högskolanAbstract : Abrasive Waterjet cutting (AWJ) presents many advantages over competing machining techniques, but several issues are related to the high volume of materials (and in particular of abrasive) used in the process. In this study, the environmental impact of the material flows in the abrasive waterjet industry has been analyzed adopting a life cycle perspective in order to individuate which phases place the largest burden on the environment.
