The document discusses the manufacturing process of turbine blades. Nickel and cobalt-based superalloys are commonly used due to their high temperature strength and corrosion resistance. The design process utilizes CAD and CAM software to optimize the blade shape. Investment casting is a key technique, which involves creating a ceramic shell mold around a wax pattern, followed by metal casting. Issues like cracking can arise during casting so blades undergo X-ray inspection to detect internal defects.
