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
A turbine blade with damage to the leading edge cannot always be replaced: Sotimeco can repair it using DED laser technology, with localized deposition that avoids the need to remelt the entire part.
Fatigue resistance in the hub, creep resistance in the rim: Sotimeco can use DED Laser technology to process turbine discs with a gradient composition, a strategic area of R&D.
Multi-material combustion chambers and nozzles (copper-nickel, superalloys): Sotimeco can manufacture and repair them using DED Laser technology, including for rocket engines.
Bosses, flanges, and reinforcements: Sotimeco can add them using DED Laser technology directly to an already forged landing gear component, without having to start from scratch.
Worn bearing seats on shaft lines several meters long: Sotimeco can resurface them using DED laser technology (duplex steels), for both civilian and military applications.
Reducing the amount of material purchased for large titanium housings: that’s what Sotimeco’s quasi-net-shape DED Laser deposition process achieves when applied to forged blanks.
Fittings and rotor mounts for military helicopters: Gicam’s technology can repair them using DED laser technology, a matter of national sovereignty for fleets no longer in production.
