Industrial Info Resources, Sugar Land, Texas, reports that several technology providers for high-capacity power-generation projects, including those catering to the growing data-center market, are reporting a dramatic growth in U.S. gas-turbine orders.
Velo3D, Inc., Fremont, Calif., a leading additive manufacturing company for mission-critical metal parts, and Linde AMT, Speedway, Ind., (formerly known as Praxair Surface Technologies), a global leader in metal powders and coatings, have signed an agreement to supply domestically produced CuNi (70-30 Copper-Nickel) powder in support of the U.S. Navy and the Maritime Industrial Base Program.
ATL Turbine Services, Scotland, has expanded its technological capabilities by investing in the Surface Two thermal spray system from Oerlikon, Switzerland.
Chromalloy, Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., a global leader in the aerospace engine aftermarket, has received Federal Aviation Administration parts manufacturer approval for its CFM56-5B/7B high pressure turbine blade.
There are two basic types of feed systems that feed materials that can be thermally sprayed (including polymers, metals, metal alloys, intermetallics, ceramics, and composites): one that feeds wires or rods and another that feeds particulates.
