ProjectDescriptionThe purpose of this project is to increase knowledge about the applicability of laser cladding of metal components are exposed to dynamic loads. This will be done through a comprehensive testing program of surface components in laboratory environments. When research and test results are available, it is less risky for the metal and engineering companies to apply the method. In the long run is the purpose of this project to enhance business competitiveness and to build joint innovation and educational organizations that offer programs area's business community and other stakeholders’ excellence in product and production. The goal of this project is to increase knowledge about laser finishing metal components withstand dynamic loads and the factors affecting sustainability. Based on this knowledge, and documented data, criteria, recommendations and design rules are created for designers and end users of metal that has been finishing surface with laser treatment. In the longer term the use of laser cladding method improve the metal and engineering industry ability to compete. In addition to scientific objectives is the intention of using this project to start a firm and close cooperation between the two leading materials research (Lulea, Kokkola) in finishing surface treatment in the North.
