The advanced blade design tested in Lincoln provides improved cooling features that can increase overall efficiency of the Siemens gas turbines. Additive Manufacturing is a process that builds parts ...

The process for steam turbine blade design from concept to actual product is an iterative one that includes computer-aided design (CAD) models, including blade surface for computer-aided ...

Those charges, Miller said, stemmed from a critical oxidation issue that affects the lifespan of a single blade component in the first generation of GE’s advanced HA gas turbines. That issue ...

These blades, which can be found in many modern, high-performance gas turbines (a.k.a. jet engines)—including the ones powering the F-22 Raptor, and larger electricity-producing turbines—are ...

The scientists have captured high-resolution CT scans of the interior of a large, dense object -- a gas turbine blade -- using a compact, laser-driven X-ray source. The work is part of a larger ...

Siemens announced it has successfully tested power generation gas turbine blades produced entirely through metal-based 3D printing, also known as Additive Manufacturing. The blades, tested under ...
