Employees IMMIT SPbPU Conducted work under a contract for research, development, and engineering work on the topic: "Development of a design and manufacturing technology using additive manufacturing for critical hot-path components of the T32 gas turbine unit (MS5002E)." The project manager is Anatoly Popovich, Director of the Institute of Metallurgical Engineering and Metallurgical Engineering.

During their work, specialists from the LiAT Research Laboratory examined the first- and second-stage high-pressure turbine nozzle vanes, developed repair documentation, and conducted pilot repairs using laser cladding. They analyzed the operating conditions of the first- and second-stage nozzle assemblies and the condition of the nozzle vane material after operation, classified defects by type, size, and location, and developed a method for identifying defective blades.

At the end of 2023, work began on a project with Gazprom to repair first- and second-stage high-pressure turbine nozzle blades. After lengthy negotiations and detailed discussions, active work began on analyzing the received parts and developing a laser cladding repair technology for the SL1 and SL2 high-pressure turbine blades of the MS5002E gas turbine engine (GPA Ladoga 32). "Thanks to the use of laser cladding, we were able to increase the service life of the parts," shared Mikhail Kuznetsov, head of the LiAT Research Laboratory.

The specialists also conducted experimental studies of the properties of compact samples and developed a technological process for repairing parts, including heat treatment, mechanical processing, laser cladding, and incoming and outgoing inspection.

Together with colleagues from the Institute of Power Engineering, we conducted computational studies, including strength, gas-dynamic, hydraulic, and thermal methods. We also conducted a validation analysis of the repaired blades.

As part of another phase of R&D with Gazprom on import substitution of critical gas turbine components, Polytechnic University researchers developed a method for manufacturing T32 GTU fuel injectors using additive manufacturing. The injector is a key component of the combustion chamber, ensuring optimal combustion parameters. Researchers at the institute conducted research into the selection of a domestic heat-resistant alloy and developed selective laser melting modes. The developed method involves 3D printing individual injector components, post-processing, and laser welding. This significantly reduced manufacturing time and material consumption compared to traditional methods.

Laboratory tests of the test specimens included determining the material's mechanical properties at various temperatures, as well as long-term strength testing. The finished nozzles underwent pneumatic testing to verify flow characteristics and effective orifice area, confirming compliance with all technical specifications. Plans are currently underway to manufacture several sets of nozzles using the developed technology for hot testing within a gas turbine unit.

The development of a fuel injector manufacturing method using selective laser melting is an important step in the development of domestic power engineering. "We have succeeded in developing an effective solution based on domestic materials and equipment, ensuring technological independence of production," noted Igor Polozov, leading researcher at the Structural and Functional Materials Research Center.

Organizing knowledge-intensive small-scale production is a worthy pursuit for a research university. Our scientists, in collaboration with representatives of high-tech companies from various industries, are solving complex problems and developing the domestic industry. The successful and early completion of the R&D project with Gazprom speaks to the high professionalism of our employees and their desire to conquer new and challenging horizons, commented Anatoly Popovich.

Today, we congratulate the Department of Management in International Business and Tourism, the SUM Expeditionary Corps, and all lovers of package tours and independent travel on World Tourism Day!

The holiday was established by the General Assembly of the World Tourism Organization and has been celebrated in our country since 1983. It is intended to promote the development of international cooperation in the tourism industry, increase its contribution to the economy, and facilitate the exchange of cultural experiences.

Russia has experienced a significant increase in tourist flows in recent years. On average, the increase ranged from 11% to 20% depending on the region. The most popular domestic destinations last year were Krasnodar Krai (20.5% of total bookings), Moscow (18.8%), St. Petersburg (13.4%), the Moscow Region (3.5%), and Tatarstan (3.5%). The Leningrad Region and Mordovia demonstrated the highest growth (over 50%), with trips to Udmurtia, Vladimir, Voronezh, Samara, and Ulyanovsk Regions also seeing a significant increase. Demand for travel to Crimea and Kalmykia (48%), Arkhangelsk (34.3%), and Oryol Regions (31%) also increased. Experts predict a similar growth rate in regional tourism for the current year. This will be facilitated by the construction and renovation of local airports and the rerouting of flights around Moscow, which will reduce flight times and eliminate the need for transfers.

Among foreign resorts, the familiar Turkey, Egypt, the UAE, and Thailand still hold the undisputed lead. China has joined the top five. These countries will account for 85% of all foreign trips in 2024, representing 14 million tours—a 17% increase over the previous reporting period. The current year has also shown good figures, but it's too early to draw conclusions. Experts are confident that the introduction of a visa-free regime for Russian tourists by our Chinese partners on September 15 will also significantly increase tourist flow to China.

Travel holds a special place in everyone's life, so it's no wonder we tend to spend our vacations and holidays specifically on it. Whether we prefer camping in the wilderness or comfortable all-inclusive cruises, we always experience it as a small adventure that allows us to relax, forget about everyday life, and gain new impressions.

Once again, we congratulate everyone on the holiday and wish you exciting journeys along uncharted routes, giving you a wealth of positive memories and beautiful photographs.
