Energy & Environment - Repair, Manufacture, or Harden Using DED Laser Technology

Flanges and Process Pipe Connections

Flanges and Process Pipe Connections

A gasket surface that has corroded during a scheduled unit shutdown: Sotimeco can rebuild it using DED laser technology, a quick repair method well-suited for turnarounds.
Valve bodies for thermal and nuclear power plants

Valve bodies for thermal and nuclear power plants

Étanchéité en vapeur haute pression ou en fluide primaire nucléaire : Sotimeco peut y déposer par DED Laser des alliages Stellite ou Inconel, sur un corps en acier standard.

Drill pipes and BHA components

Tool joints and stabilizers worn down by constant contact with rock: Sotimeco can hardface them using DED laser technology with hard, abrasion-resistant alloys.
Wind Turbine Mast and Foundation Brackets

Wind Turbine Mast and Foundation Brackets

A corroded wind turbine tower bracket discovered during an inspection does not render the entire section unusable: Sotimeco can repair it using DED laser technology to extend the tower’s service life.

Wellheads, drill bits, and valve bodies

H2S/CO2 corrosion, high pressures: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to apply an Inconel or Stellite coating to wellheads while retaining a standard steel body.
Anti-corrosion cladding for reactors and columns

Anti-corrosion cladding for reactors and columns

Corrosion and erosion in fluid contact areas: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to apply an Inconel coating to the tube sheets and tubes of heat exchangers.

BOP (Blowout Preventer) Caps and Bodies

Des équipements de sécurité critiques en acier forgé de forte épaisseur : Sotimeco peut en recharger les surfaces d'étanchéité par DED Laser, selon les exigences API 6A/16A.

Shafts and Rotors for Petrochemical Process Pumps

Mechanical seal seats exposed to contaminated or corrosive fluids: Sotimeco can reseal them using DED laser technology without having to replace the entire shaft.
Subsea Fittings and Connectors

Subsea Fittings and Connectors

Perfect sealing in corrosive marine environments: Sotimeco can apply an anti-corrosion coating to subsea connectors using DED laser technology, which is more reliable than plating.
Hydraulic turbine runners (Pelton, Francis, Kaplan)

Hydraulic turbine runners (Pelton, Francis, Kaplan)

Une roue de turbine hydraulique est souvent unique, sur-mesure pour un barrage : Sotimeco peut en recharger les zones de cavitation par DED Laser plutôt que de la refabriquer.

Petrochemical Process Valve Bodies

Corrosive and erosive fluids, high temperatures: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to deposit Stellite or Inconel alloys onto the seats of petrochemical process valves.
Rear section of a wind turbine nacelle

Wind Turbine Main Shaft and Bearing Supports

Avoiding the lifting of heavy components offshore: Sotimeco can use DED Laser technology to rebuild the bearing surfaces of a wind turbine's main shaft without replacing it.
Gas and steam turbine blades

Gas and steam turbine blades

Leading-edge erosion, tip wear: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild gas and steam turbine blades made of nickel-based superalloys.
Shafts and Rotors of Turboalternators

Shafts and Rotors of Turboalternators

Un rotor de turboalternateur forgé d'une seule pièce prend plusieurs mois à fabriquer : Sotimeco peut en recharger les portées de paliers par DED Laser plutôt que de le remplacer.
Wind Turbine Blade Connection Components

Wind Turbine Blade Connection Components

A metal insert that has deteriorated at the base of an expensive composite blade: Sotimeco can rebuild it using DED laser technology, rather than scrapping the entire blade.
Slewing Rings (Pitch and Yaw) - Faux-Brinelling

Slewing rings (pitch and yaw)

Une couronne d'orientation pitch/yaw compte parmi les pièces les plus chères d'une éolienne : Sotimeco peut en recharger la piste de roulement par DED Laser plutôt que de la remplacer.
Anti-corrosion cladding for nuclear components

Anti-corrosion cladding for nuclear components

Piquages de cuve, brides, supports du circuit primaire : Sotimeco peut y déposer par DED Laser un cladding anticorrosion qualifié, en acier inoxydable ou base nickel.
Heat exchangers, tube sheets, and tubes

Heat Exchangers: Tube-and-Shell and Tube-Type

Corrosion and erosion in fluid contact areas: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to apply an Inconel coating to the tube sheets and tubes of heat exchangers.
Shafts and Gears in Wind Turbine Gearboxes

Shafts and Gears in Wind Turbine Gearboxes

Micro-pitting, tooth spalling: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild wind turbine gearboxes, allowing them to return to service more quickly than with a standard replacement.
Shafts and Rotors for Pumps and Compressors (Oil & Gas)

Shafts and Rotors for Pumps and Compressors (Oil & Gas)

Eroded seal seats on high-value-added pump and compressor shafts: Sotimeco can rebuild them using DED laser technology without having to replace the entire shaft.
