Empowering Energy with Reliable AM Standards

Adoption of additive manufacturing in the energy sector is growing as companies recognize its benefits in producing complex, high-performance components capable of withstanding extreme conditions. AM is increasingly used in the production of parts for turbines, oil and gas equipment, and renewable energy systems. Ensuring quality and reliability is critical; rigorous testing for durability, stress tolerance, and corrosion resistance is essential to meet industry demands. Standards of the ISO/ASTM 52900 series guide manufacturers in establishing quality-assured AM processes across various AM process categories, along with established industry specific standards such as the API 20S. Qualified AM supports energy companies in aligning their AM practices, and those of their suppliers, with these international standards, enhancing the performance and dependability of energy production equipment, and supporting the industry’s increasing reliance on additive manufacturing.
