Elon Musk's SpaceX To Build Foundry For Gas Turbine Blades
· Source: rediff.com
In short
Elon Musk's SpaceX is constructing an advanced in-house foundry in Bastrop, Texas, to manufacture high-spec gas turbine blades and vanes, aiming to accelerate power generation for AI data centres and address critical supply chain bottlenecks. The facility will produce single-crystal nickel-superalloy components capable of withstanding extreme heat, potentially reducing natural gas turbine availability timelines by up to 18 months, while leveraging synergies with aerospace manufacturing.
