NN IMZ-13-01. Highly effective technologies for manufacturing bimetals using laser and combined processes

TRL-6

Market and economic attractiveness

• The economic expediency of using the proposed methods of production of bimetallic materials is:
  • in significant and rational saving of material and energy resources;
  • reduction of the specific cost of used production areas and labor costs;
  • the possibilities of optimizing the choice of the most effective method of manufacturing bimetals.
• It is shown that the time spent on the implementation of the mentioned technologies, depending on the complexity, is from 3 to 12 months.

The main advantages (strengths) of the development

• Laser – casting and combined methods of manufacturing bimetals of various sizes and geometric shapes have been developed and implemented , which make it possible to reduce the cost, increase the productivity and quality of manufacturing bimetals without losing functionality and work resource
• The developed technologies make it possible to manufacture bimetals with a guaranteed metallurgical connection between the functional layer and the base

Main characteristics

• The cost and productivity of bimetal production depend on the characteristics of the functional layer:
  • chemical and phase composition;
  • its thickness and hardness;
  • adhesion strength to the base;
  • geometric dimensions

Ready state
