Our foundry produces critical rotating and stationary components, including turbine vanes and nozzles, essential for commercial aerospace engines and Industrial Gas Turbines (IGT). We focus on delivering components that meet the exacting aerodynamic and structural standards required by the energy and aviation sectors.
Critical Components for Jet Engines & IGT
We understand that Gas Turbine Blades and compressor airfoils are the heart of any turbine engine. Our manufacturing process ensures that every component supports optimal airflow and efficiency. We supply Hot Section Components that drive performance in:
- Commercial and military jet engines.
- Power generation turbines.
- Marine propulsion systems.
- Turbochargers and auxiliary power units.
Overcoming Extreme Thermal Stresses
Operating in the gas path requires materials that survive punishing environments. We engineer our castings to overcome extreme thermal stresses, maintaining high tensile strength and fatigue resistance at temperatures exceeding 1000°F. By utilizing advanced Nickel-Based Superalloys e Cobalt-Based Alloys, we ensure our airfoils resist creep, oxidation, and thermal fatigue during rapid heating and cooling cycles.

By strictly controlling the grain structure and alloy purity during the vacuum induction melting process, we deliver components that resist degradation, extending the service life of the engine or generator.
Integrated Manufacturing Services
At Vastmaterial, we understand that producing a raw casting is only half the battle. Our airfoil casting solutions are supported by a complete ecosystem of secondary operations, ensuring every blade and vane is ready for assembly. We streamline the supply chain by managing the entire workflow, from the initial engineering review to the final finishing touches, all under one roof.
Design for Manufacturability (DFM) Support
We don’t just take prints; we optimize them. Our engineering team provides cURL Too many subrequests. support right from the start. We analyze your CAD models to identify potential casting issues, suggesting slight modifications to wall thickness or radii that improve yield without compromising aerodynamic performance. This collaborative approach reduces development time and ensures a smoother transition from prototype to production.
In-House 5-Axis CNC Machining
Precision is critical for the interface points of turbine components. We utilize Integrated CNC Machining capabilities to handle the complex geometries that casting alone cannot achieve.
- Fir Tree Root Finishing: We use high-precision 5-axis machining to grind the intricate “fir tree” or dovetail root forms, ensuring a perfect fit into the turbine disc.
- Shroud and Platform Machining: We achieve tight tolerances on shroud interlocks and platform seals to maximize engine efficiency.
Surface Treatments and Heat Treatment
To survive the extreme environments of a gas turbine, our components undergo rigorous post-processing. We perform specialized heat treatments to optimize the microstructure of nickel-based superalloys for maximum creep strength. Following thermal processing, we apply advanced servizi di trattamento superficiale to protect against oxidation and corrosion. We also specialize in Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) preparation, creating the ideal surface texture required for ceramic coatings to bond securely, extending the lifespan of hot-section components.
Quality Assurance & NDT Testing
At Vastmaterial, we understand that airfoil casting demands absolute perfection. In aerospace and energy sectors, a single defect in a high-pressure turbine blade can be catastrophic. That is why our quality management system is rigorous, operating strictly as an AS9100 Certified Foundry compliant with ISO 9001 standards. We don’t just pour metal; we validate every grain structure and dimension to ensure flight-ready reliability.
Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) Protocols
To guarantee the structural integrity of our hot section components, we employ advanced Test Non Distruttivi methods that inspect parts without altering them:
- Fluorescent Penetrant Inspection (FPI): We use high-sensitivity penetrants to detect even the smallest surface cracks, laps, or porosity that are invisible to the naked eye.
- X-Ray Radiography: Our technicians look deep inside the casting to identify internal shrinkage, inclusions, or voids, ensuring the internal integrity matches the external finish.
- cURL Too many subrequests. This is critical for hollow airfoils. We measure wall thickness with precision to verify that internal cooling channels meet strict design specifications.
Material Verification and PMI
Trust requires proof. We provide detailed Positive Material Identification (PMI) Reports with every shipment. This spectroscopic analysis confirms the exact chemical composition of the alloy, ensuring it meets ASTM and AISI standards. Whether we are pouring complex superalloys or standard stainless steel casting grades, you receive certified lab reports (MTRs) validating that the material properties align perfectly with your engineering requirements.
