Was doing a little research on the Leap 1B engine and came across this tidbit.

In April, Snecma signed a procurement contract with Mecachrome (Hall 4 Stand C17) for titanium-aluminide (TiAl) blades on the Leap’s low-pressure turbine. Located at Mecachrome’s plant in Sable´-sur-Sarthe, France, the new production line will require an investment of €60 million ($83 million). Volume production is to kick off in 2015, with a sharp ramp-up as soon as 2016, on the way to achieving the planned production rate of one blade every three minutes in 2019.
