Novel Applications of Additive Manufacturing in Restoring Obsolete Rotating Equipment Components

Conference Abstract: This presentation offers insights into the challenges and successes encountered while utilizing additive manufacturing for the restoration of obsolete or damaged rotating equipment parts. By delving into real-life cases, we will explore the practical applications of advanced additive manufacturing technologies in addressing the complexities associated with repairing rotating equipment components that are considered beyond repair when using traditional repair methods. The focus will be on sharing experiences related to material selection, deposition techniques, and processing methods, while emphasizing the practical challenges that are faced in the field with the aim of identifying the optimal parameters combination for achieving superior results in the restoration of rotating equipment parts.
