Layer welding
Layer welding is an advanced technique in surface technology that has proven particularly successful in metal processing. This method makes it possible to precisely join several layers of different materials together to create composite materials with optimized properties.
During layer welding, the different layers of material are stacked on top of each other and fused together by welding seams. This welded joint binds the layers firmly together, creating a homogeneous structure. The individual materials can be selected specifically according to the desired properties, such as strength, hardness or corrosion resistance.
This welding technique opens up a wide range of applications in surface technology. Especially in industries such as aerospace, shipbuilding and the automotive industry, layer welding is used to produce components that have to withstand a variety of stresses. By combining different materials, workpieces with customized material properties can be created to meet the specific requirements of an application.
A key advantage of layer welding is its flexibility and the ability to produce workpieces with a wide range of material properties. This process makes it possible to influence the mechanical, thermal and chemical properties of the workpiece surface in a targeted manner, enabling precise adaptation to the requirements of a wide range of applications. Overall, layer welding therefore contributes significantly to the development and optimization of surfaces in various branches of industry by enabling the production of high-performance and multifunctional workpieces.
