AM in Turbomachinery: Deep dive in Applications, Materials, Production & Qualification

Additive Snack · 9 Dec 2025 · 1h 01m · Episode 23

What this episode covers

Dr. Ilya Fedorov, an R&D project manager at Siemens Energy, explains how additive manufacturing, specifically laser powder bed fusion (LPBF), is transforming gas turbine design, production, and repair. He details the development of complex combustion components, such as hydrogen-ready burners and turbine guide vanes with internal cooling channels, which offer performance improvements and supply chain resilience. The discussion covers the rigorous qualification processes, including 30,000 hours of engine testing, and the shift toward developing new alloys specifically optimized for additive processes rather than just replicating conventional casting materials.

    Why Your Toughest Parts Still Use 50-Year-Old Materials w/ Fazal Mahmood

    Fazal Mahmood, co-founder and CEO of Phase Shift Technologies, explains how AI is accelerating the discovery of new metal alloys to replace 50-year-old materials in industries like oil and gas, aerospace, and defense. He details the critical gap between designing a material and qualifying it for regulated markets, noting that legacy producers often lack the incentive to innovate outside their core franchises. Mahmood highlights three key drivers for this shift: the maturation of additive manufacturing, the performance limits of existing materials in technologies like nuclear fusion, and supply chain disruptions in critical raw materials like tungsten. He illustrates these points with a specific example of a new printable tungsten carbide alloy designed for laser powder bed fusion to solve wear resistance issues in complex flow components.

    Additive Manufacturing on the Shop Floor: Hype, Reality, and Where It Actually Works, Ep #37

    Mark Barfoot, VP of Global Sales at Exact Metal, discusses the practical application of metal additive manufacturing in machine shops, moving beyond hype to real-world use cases like jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts. He explains that while the technology is maturing, success requires designing for additive (DfAM) rather than simply replacing CNC machining, and highlights the importance of facility safety, powder handling, and building internal expertise. Barfoot notes that laser powder bed fusion is becoming more accessible for job shops, with lower-cost machines enabling production runs of thousands of small parts, provided the geometry justifies the cost.

    The gas turbine crunch

    Anthony Brough, founder and CEO of Dora Partners, explains that gas turbine lead times have stretched to 36-48 months due to a supply crunch driven by data center demand, coal retirements, and aerospace competition. He notes that while OEMs like GE Vernova, Siemens, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries are investing in capacity, raw material costs and competing industries are keeping prices up 30-35%. Brough highlights that efficiency improvements are gradual, reaching 62%, while hydrogen readiness remains a long-term challenge due to fuel availability.

    The Digital Warehouse: A Look Inside Additive Manufacturing w/ Melanie Lang

    Melanie Lang, Co-Founder and CEO of FormAlloy, discusses the evolution of additive manufacturing from prototyping to production, focusing on Directed Energy Deposition (DED) technology. She explains how DED uses laser energy and metal powder to build or repair parts layer-by-layer, enabling multimaterial solutions and large-scale builds without support structures. Lang highlights aerospace applications like rocket nozzles and heat exchangers, where DED combines copper alloys for thermal properties with nickel superalloys for strength. She also addresses the industry's shift toward viewing manufacturing as a 'digital warehouse,' where digital files replace physical inventory, though she notes that trust and certification standards are still evolving.

    HIBT Lab! Ursa Major: Joe Laurienti

    Joe Laurienti, founder and CEO of Ursa Major, explains how he leveraged his experience at SpaceX and Blue Origin to launch a company focused on 3D-printed rocket engines in 2015. He details the strategic decision to use additive manufacturing to reduce part count and cost, the company's early adoption of off-the-shelf metals before developing proprietary alloys, and the rapid 'fail fast' testing philosophy that defined their prototype development. Laurienti also discusses the geopolitical shift following the 2014 Russian invasion of Crimea, which created a domestic supply gap for rocket engines, and Ursa Major's current role in supporting both commercial space launches and U.S. hypersonic defense programs.
