Absolute record: Polytechnic University and Power Machines printed the largest blank in Russia

Translation. Region: Russian Federation –

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

As part of a joint R&D project, Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University and Power Machines developed a technology and produced the largest printed part in Russia using electric arc deposition.

The steam turbine seal blank weighs over 750 kg, setting an absolute national record. The work was conducted at the Lightweight Materials and Structures Laboratory of the Institute of Mechanical Engineering, Materials, and Transport at SPbPU.

The main goal of the R&D project is to create a robotic arc-growth system and develop a technology for manufacturing blanks for the turbine production of Power Machines. The primary materials for this type of product are high-strength, low-alloy, heat-resistant steels.

The technology behind electric arc deposition from metal wire is based on the layer-by-layer transfer of molten metal. The metal is melted using the energy of an electric arc. All movements are performed by an industrial robot, which follows a specially developed program. Specialists program the movements, taking into account the influence of wire feed speed, arc power, wire metal composition, and other factors on the characteristics of the future part. To print the part, the print layer width was increased to 201 millimeters. Such a massive layer inevitably leads to significant deformations of the product relative to the 3D model. Engineers developed a special printing approach to compensate for this.

During the development of the electric arc growth technology for such workpieces, a huge amount of data was collected through a series of experiments. These experiments included the development of metal transfer modes during growth, material behavior studies, the development of growth control programs, and many other parameters. This project opens up the prospect of producing even larger parts, effectively pushing the limits of additive manufacturing capabilities for industry. Crucially, in addition to developing the growth technology itself, the Polytechnic University is manufacturing electric arc growth equipment for JSC Power Machines as part of the joint project. "Domestic science ensures technological leadership for the domestic industry," noted Oleg Panchenko, Head of the Lightweight Materials and Structures Laboratory.

The implementation of innovative manufacturing methods is a key focus of Power Machines' capacity development program. Additive manufacturing helps us implement new engineering solutions, ensure the efficiency and reliability of our generating equipment for the Russian energy sector, and reduce manufacturing lead times and costs. After launching the robotic complex and fine-tuning the technology, we are potentially considering expanding this manufacturing method to critical steam turbine cylinder blanks, said Alexander Ivanovsky, First Deputy General Director and Chief Designer of Power Machines.

It's worth noting that St. Petersburg Polytechnic University is a recognized leader in additive manufacturing in Russia. The Laboratory of Lightweight Materials and Structures has been continuously modernizing and developing electric arc deposition technology since 2015. Engineers have extensive experience in the electric arc deposition of a wide range of materials, including high-strength steels, austenitic and austenitic-martensitic stainless steels, ultra-high-strength steels, and aluminum-, copper-, nickel-, titanium-, and magnesium-based alloys. Electric arc deposition is a process related to welding and surfacing, placing high demands on specialists. Knowledge in materials science, industrial robotics, and programming are essential. All this allows us not only to fulfill orders for industrial partners but also to develop the most advanced tools and manufacturing technologies.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

The Leningrad Polytechnic University hosted a delegation from one of the world's most prestigious universities, Tsinghua University (China), specifically Weixian College. Cooperation between the universities dates back to the 1950s, with the arrival of the first Chinese specialists to study in Leningrad. A landmark event was the signing in 1987 of one of the first partnership agreements between universities in the USSR and China—between the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute and Tsinghua University. Close collaboration between research teams and consistent leadership support in the implementation of numerous joint projects played a key role in the development of both universities as leading national centers of education and science.

The delegation's visit began with a tour of the SPbPU History Museum and a visit to the Polytechnic Supercomputer Center. The guests were introduced to the university's advanced computing resources and research infrastructure. The highlight of the day was a meeting with Russian students. The participants presented their universities and shared their national and cultural characteristics. The Chinese students also spoke about the Chinese education system.

Tsinghua representatives provided a detailed explanation of the philosophy of Weixian College, whose name translates as "Be First" and reflects its mission: to develop technological leaders capable of shaping the future at the intersection of various disciplines. They explained that the college is built on interdisciplinary principles: students enroll without choosing a specific major and, during their studies, can choose between areas such as integrated electronics, materials science, biomedical engineering, and instrumentation. This approach allows them to gain a deeper understanding of their scientific interests and make a more informed choice of their future major.

The meeting took the form of a lively dialogue: students inquired about admissions details, the balance between theory and practice, cultural aspects, and the prospects for joint projects.

Guests from Tsinghua University also expressed great interest in participating in summer and winter school programs and internships offered by SPbPU.

Following the visit, Olga Yemelyanova, Head of the Department of International Educational Programs and Academic Mobility, noted: "Our universities adhere to similar educational principles: a combination of fundamental theoretical training with strong practical and project-based activities, and an emphasis on developing socially responsible engineers and leaders. The "learn through research" approach and focus on interdisciplinarity demonstrated by Weixian College resonates directly with the educational initiatives and project laboratories of the Polytechnic University."

The meeting at SPbPU marked another important step in developing academic and youth ties between the two leading technical universities in Russia and China, opening up new opportunities for collaboration in innovative education and scientific research.

An important disclaimer is at the bottom of this article.

Based on the results of 2025, Moscow took first place or entered the top group in more than 30 national rankings and studies, once again confirming its high level of economic development, investment attractiveness, quality of life for city residents, and the effectiveness of urban governance. This was reported by Maria Bagreeva, Deputy Mayor of Moscow, Head of the Department of Economic Policy and City Development.

"One of the Moscow Government's top priorities is improving the quality of life for its residents. The Russian capital confidently maintains its position as the country's leader in this indicator, as evidenced by its top spots in the Agency for Strategic Initiatives' national quality of life rankings and RIA Rating ratings. Moscow's success in this area is also reflected in the Ministry of Construction, Housing, and Utilities' urban environment ratings, the RIA Rating road infrastructure development ratings, and the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation's quality of life index, all of which the capital also ranks among the leaders," noted Maria Bagreeva.

Moscow is the most economically stable region in Russia. The city tops the RIA Rating agency's socioeconomic status ranking of Russian regions and is among the leaders in the Expert RA regional economic health ranking. Furthermore, the capital ranks first in the labor market ranking, which assesses, among other things, employment levels, working conditions, and labor market capacity, and maintains the lowest unemployment rate in the country.

Moscow's credit rating has demonstrated the city's economic resilience.

Moscow's financial stability is confirmed by the highest credit ratings from leading Russian credit and rating agencies, such as the Analytical Credit Rating Agency and Expert RA. Furthermore, the Russian Ministry of Finance has classified the capital as a region with a high level of public financial management, further underscoring the balanced nature of its budget policy.

In 2025, Moscow was once again recognized as the region with the best investment climate in the country. For the seventh consecutive year, the city took first place in the National Investment Climate Rating and also became a leader in public-private partnership development, according to the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation. The capital also received the highest ratings for investment attractiveness from leading rating agencies, including the National Rating Agency and Expert RA.

Sustainable development remains a key priority for Moscow

The Technopolis Moscow special economic zone (SEZ) plays a significant role in these achievements. It is recognized as the most investment-attractive among technology-innovation SEZs, as well as the most sustainable SEZ in Russia in terms of ESG criteria, according to ratings by the Association of Clusters, Technology Parks, and SEZs of Russia and the Russian Ministry of Economic Development.

Moscow continues to maintain its status as the undisputed center of scientific, technological, and innovative development in the country. The city has taken first place in several national rankings assessing the scientific, technological potential and innovative activity of regions, including those of the Russian Ministry of Science and Higher Education, RIA Rating, and the National Research University Higher School of Economics. Moscow's high position in these rankings is due, in part, to the active implementation of digital and innovative solutions in city management. Moscow maintains its leadership in digital transformation: in 2025, the capital topped the Russian Ministry of Construction's "IQ Cities" urban digitalization index for the seventh consecutive year, scoring a maximum of 260 points.

Moscow tops the IQ Cities ranking for the seventh time.

In a number of areas, such as the level of development of the urban environment, economy, and technology, Moscow maintains a high standard not only on a national scale, but also among the world's largest megacities.
