Arc technology
Arc technology
Arc processes are key technologies in modern process chains and, thanks to their technological advancement, enable robust process control tailored to the specific material. In addition to conventional welding technology, arc processes are of particular importance for the repair and additive manufacturing of large structures in particular due to their high deposition rate. Our work focuses on analysing the chain of effects, from the filler material through the process to the assessment of the component.
Additive manufacturing
The research focuses in particular on the additive manufacturing of large and complex components. Key areas of focus include the processing of materials with limited weldability, such as nickel-based alloys; the creation of hybrid material composites; and the challenges involved in producing large-scale structures.
Filler wires for arc processes
The design and manufacture of flux-cored wires for arc welding processes involving a wide variety of material groups, and their use in arc welding processes, offer great potential for the precise control of the required component and weld seam properties.
Process diagnostics
The integration of sensor technology into our handling systems enables us to collect data from the relevant processes and workpieces, including temperature fields and geometric parameters.
Arc welding
Our equipment enables us to carry out a wide variety of arc welding processes, such as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, metal inert gas (MIG) welding and submerged arc (SA) welding.
