1. Context TurboTech is a 50-50 joint venture founded by Safran Aircraft Engines (Safran AE) and Aero Engine Corporation of China – South Industry (AECC-SI), which aims at developing low pressure turbine and flame tube for a new generation of turboprop engine via advanced manufacture and numerical techniques. Additive Manufacturing, widely known as 3D printing, is largely applied in various industries. Given the increasing popularity of the technique, international and domestic standardization committees are striving for establishing comprehensive AM standard systems to promote and regularize the utilization of AM as well as ensure end product quality. TurboTech will include AM technologies into its R&D roadmap. For the purpose of meeting AM standard requirements, an insightful analysis of the existing standards and the evolution of the standard system is a must.…

1. Context TurboTech is a 50-50 joint venture founded by Safran Aircraft Engines (Safran AE) and Aero Engine Cooperation of China – South industry (AECC-SI), which aims at developing low pressure turbine and flame tube for a new generation of turboprop engine via advanced manufacture and numerical techniques. Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are known to allow the production of parts with an extreme degree of complexity, enabling design and functional part optimization. However, due to the complexity of the process, the relationship between process parameters and resulted microstructural and mechanical properties is not fully understood in both industrial and academic communities. TurboTech aims at applying AM to manufacture aircraft engine component which works under extreme in-service conditions. Therefore, following the technical evolutions of AM, especially from a scientific perspective, is…

Context TurboTech is a 50-50 joint venture founded by Safran Aircraft Engines (Safran AE) and Aero Engine Cooperation of China – South industry (AECC-SI), which aims at developing low pressure turbine and flame tube for a new generation of turboprop engine via advanced manufacture and numerical techniques. Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies are known to allow the production of parts with an extreme degree of complexity, enabling design and functional part optimization. However, the resulting mechanical properties of AM materials, especially high-temperature alloys (e.g. nickel based superalloy) are not well understood due to unique and complex thermal cycles during processing. To incorporate such special mechanical behaviors into numerical simulations enabling design, a database of mechanical properties, e.g. tensile properties, fatigue and creep properties, of AM nickel based superalloy plays a…
