Development of innovative wire-shaped welding consumables and implementation in the laser cladding process of special cast iron alloys.
The aim of the R&D project is to develop a new welding filler material as well as a corresponding system technology and welding process for the sustainable laser cladding of cast iron with spheroidal graphite. The cladding layers should meet application-specific requirements such as hardness, wear resistance and freedom from cracks. This requires interdisciplinary cooperation between industry and research partners in order to ensure a continuous development chain from alloy development to material validation. A central goal is the development of a wire material with an adapted alloy design that offers both good formability and the desired properties for cladding.
