Defense & Naval

Gicam’s technology can repair and manufacture critical defense and naval components using DED Laser technology: armored undercarriages, propeller shafts, marine propellers, and gas turbines. It enables rapid, localized repairs, which are crucial for industrial sovereignty and operational readiness for military and naval fleets.

Marine Gas Turbines

These turbines, which are derived from aircraft engines, face the same challenges: erosion and thermal fatigue, with damage that is often localized.
These turbines, derived from aircraft engines, face the same challenges as their aviation counterparts: blades subject to erosion and thermal fatigue, with damage often localized at the leading edge. DED enables precise repairs similar to those performed in aviation MRO, with fine control over heat input to prevent cracking in superalloys.

The operational readiness of warships depends heavily on the speed with which these turbines are maintained, making on-site repair a strategic necessity. This represents a direct technological bridge between DED’s aerospace and naval expertise, clearly illustrating the cross-sector applicability of the process between the two industries.
Localized repair → Same principle as in aviation MRO, applicable to marine turbines.
Operational Readiness → Rapid Strategic Maintenance for Warships.

Key takeaways…
Gicam’s technology can repair marine gas turbine blades with damaged leading edges using DED laser technology, with precise control of heat input to prevent cracking in superalloys. This repair process serves as a direct technological bridge between the DED’s aerospace and naval expertise.

FAQ

Are marine gas turbines repaired in the same way as aircraft gas turbines?

These are often derivatives of aircraft engines: DED repair targets the same areas (leading edge), with the same precise thermal control.

Why might this repair be strategically important for the Navy?
