Advancing Turbine Manufacturing with Laser Directed Energy Deposition

In the high-performance world of aerospace turbine manufacturing, agility and precision are mission-critical. Traditional fabrication methods—casting, forging, and subtractive machining—struggle to keep up with demands for faster development cycles, complex geometries, and cost-efficiency.

Enter Laser Directed Energy Deposition (L-DED): a form of metal additive manufacturing that offers unprecedented design flexibility, reduced lead times, and near-net shape efficiency. We are demonstrating this capability through a novel process for manufacturing Inconel 718 turbine blades, optimized for jet engine applications.

What is Laser Directed Energy Deposition?

L-DED is an advanced metal 3D printing technique where a laser and metal feedstock (typically powder or wire) are combined to deposit material precisely, layer by layer. Our system features:

This combination allows for L-DED of turbine blades starting from a 60 mm bar stock, building up to 110 mm diameter blades with tight control over geometry and structure.

Extending Service Life of Continuous Casting Belt Components with Laser Welding

For over 10 years, Laser Additive Solutions Ltd have developed specialist Laser Welding processes for different including Nuclear, Aerospace, Electronics, Subsea etc. Across these different projects, the focus has been on various types of metals such as Stainless Steels (including Super Duplex), Nickel based (Inconel) and others. Laser Welding is one of the many advanced services offered by LAS, alongside Laser Powder Bed Fusion (Metal 3D Printing), Laser Direct Energy Deposition, Laser Hardening, and Laser Cladding.

Laser Welding is a joining process that uses a focused laser beam to melt and fuse materials. Laser Welding is optimal for applications where minimal heat input is advantageous, such as high value electronics, magnets and super duplex shafts. Laser welding can be performed with or without filler material and is particularly effective for joining metals with high melting points or dissimilar materials.

LAS was approached by a customer to address recurring issues with their continuous caster belt components. These belts, critical to the casting process, were previously joined using TIG welding. However, unreliable welding and repeated stress-induced cracking led to premature failures, unplanned shutdowns, and increased maintenance costs. The client’s goal was to improve the reliability and extend the service life of the belts without compromising performance.

After initial meetings with the client, LAS used their industrial experience to develop optimal processing parameters and improve the overall process. The results of this development was a significant performance improvement: belts manufactured using laser welding achieved an average runtime of 51.32 hours before failure , compared to 35.40 hours for TIG-welded belts. The increase of nearly 16 hours in operational life was proven over multiple belts over several months of testing. The improvements in performance were attributed to the reduction in Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) of the weld due to reduced heat input from the laser welding process compared to traditional manual welding techniques.

This improvement translated into tangible cost savings. By reducing the frequency of belt-related shutdowns and lowering maintenance demands, this resulted in the client having annual savings of approximately £125,000 . In addition to the financial benefits, laser welding enhanced production stability and reduced downtime, contributing to a more efficient and reliable operation.

LAS is happy to assist with all laser welding enquiries, regardless of material or application. Please don’t hesitate to contact us today to discuss your requirements.

Doncaster Business Awards: What a night!

Wed, 20 Dec 2023 10:20:05 GMT

Director o f Laser Additive Solutions (L AS), Peter Brown, and two of our staff here at LAS - Jessica Boulton (Office and Quality Manager) and Heather Brown (Project Director) att ended the Doncaster Business Awards (2023 ) last T hursday.

Upon entering to a bustling reception area, the lashing rain outside hadn’t at all dampened the excitement of the evening, the growing excitement tangible. The internals of the main building were well dressed with twinkly lights peeking out of a black backdrop adding additional drama, along with a large welcoming archway as a real focal point on entry. It was great to meet new faces, and as we pondered over what was in the welcome drink which styled a floating berry within what seemed, in the atmospheric lighting, to be a sort of pink/orange hue drink, one of the judges who happened to be standing just by us introduced themselves. It was lovely to chat with someone from a completely different sector and great to meet another Doncaster entrepreneur!

As we started moving to the tables, we were able to spend a few minutes catching up with Paul and Nicola Stockhill, Paul is the owner of Agemaspark , a high tech precision engineering firm also in Doncaster and with whom LAS often work closely with. Peter and Heather then sat with Agemaspark, Jess with Sheffield University who had kindly offered LAS a seat at their table.

With chance for a quick introduction around tables in the room, it wasn’t long before the event kicked off with welcomes and the Lifetime Achievement Award, ahead of food and further awards later. As the description of the attributes of the Lifetime Achievement award winner were read out in advance of the reveal, there was the dawning realisation by Paul that he himself had won this award – a mixed look of happiness and shock on his face. Others around the table who worked at Agemaspark had somehow managed to keep such a lovely secret! A worthy winner, who has not just set up and developed his business across twenty years to its current success and standing, but has also worked with the local University Technical College to mentor and support careers in engineering. Congratulations Paul! It was a privilege and delight to be there to see his special moment!

Jess enjoyed being part of and meeting a lively table of lovely individuals, Sheffield University’s table hosted a range of types of businesses on the table and it was good to hear a flavour of the work they do.

As the night went on, there were many awards and a huge congratulations to all short listed, runners-up and winners – it was great to be there to hear about and be part of celebrating the success of Doncaster organisations.

The night ended with a fantastic band and many, including all our LAS staff, including an initially reluctant director, took a turn on the dance floor before the taxi called to take us to homes. What a great and enjoyable night!

Thank you to Doncaster Chamber for another great Doncaster Business Awards, and to Sheffield University and Agemaspark for inviting us. Congratulations again to Paul!

Can you 3D Print Pure Tungsten?

Thu, 14 Dec 2023 15:28:54 GMT

Simply put… Yes. It is possible to 3D Print Pure Tungsten using Laser Direct Energy Deposition. Although, there remains some limitations that need to be overcome.

Why Pure Tungsten?

Tungsten is well known for its suitability for nuclear fusion reactors, MRI scanners and radiation shielding. Majority of the applications of tungsten stem from its high melting point (above 3000°C) and excellent X-Ray/Gamma Ray absorption.

One of Tungsten’s most promising applications is inside Nuclear Fusion reactors to provide a lining to contain heat and radiation. Despite the encouraging future for large scale tungsten components, the issue is still how best to manufacture these parts. Typically, Tungsten is tricky to machine, and this comes with limitations for designing Tungsten components. So, the potential to have cooling channels within the reactor components is almost impossible without Additive Manufacturing.

An alternative to machining Tungsten...

Laser Direct Energy Deposition, L-DED, is a type of Additive Manufacturing technology that feeds metal powder (or wire) into the path of a moving laser beam so that a component can be built up. The laser processing head is mounted onto a multiple-axis robot which improves versatility compared to other metal additive manufacturing methods.

Laser Additive Solutions, LAS, have recently completed a research project developing high quality parameters to additively manufacture pure Tungsten. The project ‘AM4F’ (Additive Manufacturing for Fusion) investigated the effect of ultrasonics and inert processing environments on the properties of Tungsten Tiles. AM4F showed promising early results for Additively Manufacturing Tungsten parts and highlighted the capabilities of Laser Additive Solutions innovative equipment.
