With our partners TKC d.o.o. and TCG Unitech th-ol d.o.o. we developed a few new technologies of laser welding. Some of them will be patented. The known technology of laser repair welding has been improved and optimised. Based on this research and development we are offering new services of laser welding on the market. We are also developing new research methods and methods of testing, with which the testing of laser welds and cladding will be done. With these tests the resistance and the quality of welds will be evaluated.
F.09 Development of a new technological process or technology
COBISS.SI-ID: 10556443The knowledge developed was transferred to the industry. These industrial companies expanded the palette of their products, expanded their market shares, and especially casting industry lowered their production cost. With the developed laser welding technology we accomplished to extend the in-service tool life of die casting tools. With the repaired tool it is possible to produce products of the same or better quality, the consumption of materials and energy is drastically lowered, and the negative effect on the environment is reduced. This increases competences of Slovenian industry.
