Riassunto
A detailed report on the Manufacturing of Liquid Rocket Engine Combustion Chamber with Metal Additive Manufacturing using Laser as power source and powder as feedstock has been presented. Potential materials and dimensions for typical Rocket engine components (Combustion Chamber and Nozzle) have been reviewed in detail are also presented. This Report has a typical A4 rocket engine used in V2 Rocket, considered as the world's first manmade object to cross the Karman line. Dimensions of the A4 engine are retrieved using blueprints and engineering drawings for the fabrication of rocket engine components with the aid of additive manufacturing. This report gives a complete overview of the Rocket engine components, combustion chamber, and nozzles of various rocket engines were reviewed to get detailed information of their dimensions, materials, location for redundant selection for manufacturing tests using Metal Additive Manufacturing techniques. This Thesis Report includes material compatibility for Rocket engine components using additive manufacturing techniques. It also focuses on the simulation of manufacturing of Rocket engine components by utilising “AUTODESK NETFABB SIMULATION 2020” to produce high-quality components. By this approach, this Thesis Report looks forward to developing high-performance rocket parts using metal powders. The report investigates various materials which could be used for rocket engine components production and concludes on which one could be beneficial for high-demanding industries.
