Our solutions make it possible to quickly produce parts with high mechanical strength or to add a layer with a high degree of wear resistance by combining different materials
Flat spots and tread wear on a railroad wheel: Sotimeco can resurface the running surface using DED laser technology, rather than reducing the diameter with each reprofiling.
The diameter of a pivot pin gradually wears down due to continuous friction: Sotimeco can resize the bearing surface using DED laser technology to restore it to its nominal dimension.
Friction wear on the bearing surfaces of a bogie pivot: Sotimeco can resurface them using DED laser technology, especially when replacement parts for older equipment are hard to find.
The undercarriage plays a major role in the maintenance of a fleet of machines: Sotimeco can harden rollers and sprockets using DED Laser technology, adjusting the hardness to suit the terrain.
Rapid and predictable wear on the cutting edge: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to reinforce bucket teeth with a very hard alloy while maintaining a tough body.
A forestry cutting edge subjected to stress from wood, bark, and rocks: Sotimeco can harden it using DED Laser technology without weakening the tool through a full-surface treatment.
Repeated impacts from passing wheels on a manganese steel intersection core: Sotimeco can harden the impact zone using DED laser technology, resulting in less distortion.
A forged axle with a long production lead time that is worn on its bearing surfaces: Sotimeco can hardface them using DED laser technology, subject to non-destructive testing and strict certification requirements.
