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
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.
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.
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.
Derived from aircraft engines, marine gas turbines can also be repaired using DED Laser technology at Sotimeco, which serves as a technological bridge between the two sectors.
