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 groove carved into the shaft by the lip seal is causing oil leaks: Sotimeco can resurface this section using DED laser technology without having to machine the entire shaft.
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.
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.
Hardness on the sliding surfaces, toughness at the core: Sotimeco can use DED Laser technology to deposit a hard material exclusively on the friction areas of a drawer.
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.
Tool joints and stabilizers worn down by constant contact with rock: Sotimeco can hardface them using DED laser technology with hard, abrasion-resistant alloys.
Erosion caused by contact with plasma and fluorinated or chlorinated gases: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to rebuild the exposed areas of process chambers, under rigorous qualification standards.
Only the working surface of a rolling mill roll actually wears out: Sotimeco can resurface this rolling table using DED laser technology, without having to replace the entire roll.
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.
Hardness and toughness are difficult to combine in conventional casting: Sotimeco can use DED laser cladding to reinforce the impact zone of crusher hammers without making the part brittle.
An alternative to hard chrome plating, which is subject to increasingly strict REACH regulations: Sotimeco can use DED laser deposition to apply Stellite, Inconel, or carbides to cylinder rods.
A standard steel valve body can be coated with Inconel or duplex steel in applications where it is exposed to seawater: this is the principle behind Sotimeco’s DED Laser process.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
Only the meniscus line of a copper mold actually wears out: Sotimeco can apply a hard coating to it using DED Laser technology, without affecting the rest of the mold.
DED competes with arc-welding on vertical cement mill grinders: Sotimeco can apply ultra-high-strength alloys using this process with greater metallurgical control.
