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.

The sixteenth season of the FabPRO course has launched at the Polytech Tower. It's a program created by students for students who want to immerse themselves in modern technologies and immediately apply their knowledge in practice. This year, the project is being implemented with the support of the Polytech Tower Youth Trajectory Center and the System Engineering student design bureau. For the first time, the FabLab Polytech student maker association has officially assumed supervision of the course.

Interest in the season was record-breaking: over 200 people attended the selection interviews. The grand opening of the FabPRO course became one of the most anticipated events of the semester. The soft glow of lanterns and live music created a warm, creative atmosphere. In his welcoming address, CMT Director Andrey Dolgirev noted the program's practical focus and openness to proactive students.

Guests at the evening met the team from the Youth Policy Department and the Tower, the FabLab governing board, and student teachers who had risen from beginners to mentors.

After the presentation of the courses, participants asked questions and chose their own learning paths. The evening concluded with a prize drawing—some left not only with new plans but also with gifts.

"I've been attending FabPRO since the very beginning of my studies. I'm very pleased that the courses at the Tower attract more and more interested students every year. This is the best motivation for the budding community and student teachers," commented Victoria Saikinova, a third-year student at IMMiT and head of the FabLab Polytech event-making department.

The 16th season features 11 tracks. Basic tracks, such as "From CAD to 3D Printing," have been retained, while new ones have been added, including "Fundamentals of Industrial Robotics" in collaboration with RCP.SYSTEMS. Over the course of the semester, participants will immerse themselves in the fundamentals of makercraft, technological patriotism, and technical creativity, mastering rapid prototyping and digital manufacturing under the guidance of experienced mentors and with the expert support of the Center for Technical Cooperation and FabLab Polytech.

I'm already in my second year. The competition is getting tougher with each semester. I feel like we'll soon have to build a hangar next to the Hydrotower, otherwise we won't be able to fit in there with our ideas and developments," shared Andrey Khribtenko, a second-year student at the Institute of Economics and Technology, in the FabPRO program "From CAD to Laser CNC Machine."

Every semester, the Polytech Tower hosts FabPRO practical courses, and this season naturally continues this tradition. The opening marked a strong start to a period filled with opportunities for learning, creativity, and team project work.

The next intake will take place in early February. Stay tuned for announcements on social media.
