An impeller is a rotating component that increases or decreases fluid flow and pressure and is used in a variety of sectors including aeroplanes, automobiles, medicine, and power plants. Bronze and hardened steel impellers quickly decay when exposed to harmful media such as waste water, saltwater, sewage, chlorine, bromine, and a range of chemicals in real-time applications. They rely on cavitation and electrolysis (galvanic erosion) to ruin the impeller quickly. Impeller corrosion is a major problem, driving increasing pump operating and maintenance costs and causing the industry to explore for alternative materials. The main goal of this project is to find the optimum corrosion-resistant material for the impeller. Caprolone (Nylon) and ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) are examples of such materials. Consider traditional materials like stainless steel and bronze for the research. The ABS material fared well in terms of corrosion resistance, since it possesses chemical, thermal, toughness, and strength, according to the simulation findings.
