I am not for sure if all of them are but my f-250 has a aluminum turbo fan. I am pretty sure all fans would have to be made out of a light material maybe even plastic on some little turbochargers.
Types of turbochargers Turbochargers are of two types and they are pulse and constant pressure type turbocharger. Pulse type turbocharger: In pulse type turbocharger, the exhaust gas directly enters the turbine side and drives the turbine with the exhaust gas energy. The connection from the exhaust side of an engine is directly connected to the turbine side of a turbo charger. The pipe connections from the exhaust gas towards the turbine side are generally small in length and exhaust grouping is provided to prevent the blowback of gases from one cylinder to another. Constant pressure type turbocharger: In constant pressure type turbocharger, the exhaust gases gets collected in a single exhaust gas reservoir, where the pressure is maintained constant so as to avoid any fluctuation in the exhaust gas energy pressure. The exhaust gas is introduced to the turbine side after maintaining the pressure inside the cylinder. Materials: Turbine and compressor blades: Steel or nickel alloy. Volute casing: cast iron Bearings: steel or gun metal.

Both have blades or buckets.
A wheel composed of a series of blades that is used to turn a generator is known as a turbine.

Overspeed is usually the result of too small of a turbine housing/wheel used.
Short for turbocharger, It is an exhaust driven air compressor. Exhaust gases exit the engine and enter the turbine housing where it spins the turbine wheel. The turbine wheel is connected to a shaft which the compressor wheel is also attached. When more power is needed, the turbine/compressor wheel assembly spins faster and the compressor wheel sucks in more air and compresses it creating boost/positive manifold pressure/more power.
That's basically what a turbocharger does.
Root cause can be traced to foreign object damage such as dirty oil or debris in the inlet air. Broken sparkplug electrodes can damage and destroy the turbine wheel.

is a centrifugal compressor powered by a turbine which is driven by an engine's exhaust gases.

One has a turbocharger, and the other doesn't. The turbocharger is mounted on the exhaust manifold and uses the exhaust gases to drive a turbine which is connected to another turbine that forces fresh air into the intake manifold. This added air increases horsepower and torque.
The horsepower produced by a turbine in a turbocharger varies based on the engine size and design, as well as the specific turbocharger used. Generally, a turbocharger can increase an engine's horsepower by 30% to 50% or more, depending on the application and tuning. For example, a small turbocharger may add around 50 to 100 horsepower to a typical gasoline engine, while larger turbo systems can provide significantly more for performance or racing applications. Ultimately, the exact output will depend on factors like boost pressure, engine efficiency, and tuning.
A turbine or water wheel,
a turbine would be used instead of a water wheel because a turbine does not use as much energy and it uses the wind to generate it.
