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
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.
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.
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.
