2. MATERIALS AND METHODS
The development of the gas turbine vanes has required a
dual effort for the base material and for the manufacturing
process. The development of the gas turbine components has
required a dual effort for the base material and for the
manufacturing process.
The development of the gas turbine components has
required a dual effort for the base material and for the
manufacturing process. While for the material the most logic
choice has been to develop from a well-known casting alloy (see
figure 01), like the CM247LC or René108 [2], [3] [4], the
additive process, including the complex post process steps,
required a bunch of innovative approaches. The focus of the
study was only on equiaxial superalloy, directionally solidified
or single crystal alloys were excluded from the investigation
scope because of the AM process constraints.
This choice allows to target the component life requirements FIGURE 02: Weldability diagram of Nickel base superalloys [6]

main steps. The first one was performed at lab scale aiming to
compare the low cycle fatigue performance of additively
manufactured vanes with respect to the same component made
by investment casting. The parts were cycled in a furnace

From the first printing trials it is noted a macrocrack


formation in the vanes (see figure 06). The cause of this defect
was linked to the combination of a high value of residual stress
and “poor” weldability of the alloy, driven by its gamma-prime
phase content. The cracks generally occurred during the heat
treatment post-process when additive process residual stress is
released.

The development of the alloy and of the additive process
parameters cannot be in series but must proceed in parallel with
multiple improvement iterations. The process parameters that are
allowed for an alloy like the NP110 typically seat in a narrow
window [1].
All the validation tests, also at lab scale, must be as much as
possible representative of the potential failure mode in field to
quickly address the weakness of the alloy and of the process.
The large amount of experience collected during the tests of
the vanes installed in the validation and production engines has
proven the validity of the additive manufacturing as a solid
technology for this challenging class of alloys.
The use of AM for high pressure gas turbine vanes is today
a valid alternative to the more consolidated investment casting
process. It is especially true for not large production series and
when a fast re-design is needed; it has also the additional benefit
to protect the supply chain from uncontrollable instabilities and
to address the CO2 reduction targets.
