Dr. Chyu (right) examining an investment casting airfoil with former PhD student Sean Siw, who now works at Siemens Energy in Orlando on blade cooling tasks. By using the additive manufacturing process instead of investment casting, Dr. Chyu hopes to coat the airfoils with a protective, cooling structure built inside the ODS layer.
