AMES, Iowa – Engineers know that gas turbine engines for aircraft and power plants are more efficient and burn less fuel when they run at temperatures high enough to melt metal. But how to raise ...

Jet engines operate at temperatures exceeding 3,000° F, and this heat is not just a byproduct but a necessity for fuel ...

Zygo delivers advanced 3D optical measurement solutions for precise characterization of jet engine turbine blades.

GE Aerospace completed 3,000 test cycles for new, high-pressure turbine blades and nozzles to demonstrate advanced cooling technology. Airfoils were inserted in the core of an F110 engine during an ...

Pre-swirl systems are a critical component in modern gas turbine engines, designed to condition the cooling airflow before it reaches the turbine rotor blades. By imparting a controlled rotational ...

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 ...

Metem’s close-tolerance manufacturing capabilities include ECM turbulated STEM drilling (curved, shaped, complex angle, deep holes), various types of EDM, and conventional mill/turn machining. General ...

Lately, much of the news about 3D printing metals is aimed at improving end production: bigger parts, made faster, from new materials. But what about speeding up the prototyping process of large ...
