Nickel alloy powders for additive manufacturing, which are subject to export license, will be developed in ATOM Project. Turbine parts in aviation engines are made from nickel based super alloys in order not to lose their strength under high load and temperature. In ATOM project, Inconel 718 and Inconel 625 powders for LAM (Laser Additive Manufacturing), and Inconel 718 powder for EBM (Electron Beam Melting) will be produced by the atomization process, characterized and validated through the samples.
The ATOM Project is funded by Presidency of Defense Industries (SSB), and Ermaksan is joined as a main sub-contractor. Ermaksan, which is one of the leading machine provider companies of Turkey and announced a powder bed laser melting additive system the ENA 250, will develop a system for powder manufacturing, and start producing powders on pilot scale.


YAKUT Project intends the acquisition of Selective Laser Melting, which is classified as a potential fabrication method of future in the group of additive manufacturing techniques, to the defense industry with an object to produce prototype components using Ni-based superalloys.

[...]
Within this scope, the integrated fabrication of combustion chamber that consists of 9 different parts involved in TEI TJ90 Turbojet engine has been successfully completed by utilizing the UNS N06625 Nickel alloy in powder form and obtained the required mechanical properties.

I remember all these but I can't argue with "The additive technologies are not currently used in the manufacturing of HP turbine blades" arguement as I can't verify it at the moment. I remember that TEI achieved like 102% the quality of casting with additive and they are in the process of creating the entire materials supply chain moving on. Thanks for sharing.
