N2 - Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is a rapidly developing technology with tremendous potential in both developmental and production applications. Solar Turbines Incorporated is committed to AM technology for gas turbine applications. The ability to metal 3D print novel designs of turbine blades capable of actual turbine engine operation would effectively reduce design validation cycle time and allow acquisition of key performance data early in a design campaign. In support of Solar’s advanced manufacturing development and ongoing engine efficiency improvement goals, Solar initiated a project to print a full set of MercuryTM 50 stage 2 turbine blades to be run in a development engine, with this Phase 1 program to demonstrate feasibility for fabrication of the geometry from the non-weldable Ni-base superalloy through electron beam melting (EBM).
