11. Turbine blade components were vacuum induction casting technologies were introduced in the 1950s.12. The force is applied typically to pistons, turbine blades , rotor or a nozzle. 13. The components were intended to replace nickel superalloy turbine blades or nozzle vanes. 14. The turbine blades are often the limiting component of gas turbines. 15. Most turbine blades are manufactured by investment casting ( or lost-wax processing ). 16. This produces an alloy suitable for high heat turbine blades and aerospace components. 17. The fan blades are an extension of the low-pressure turbine blades . 18. The resulting turbine blades consisted of a single grain, improving reliability. 19. In February 2013 a cracked turbine blade was found during a scheduled inspection. 20. Precision makes metal parts for aircraft engines and produces turbine blades .
