Sustainability is also about encouraging reuse. The principle is simple:components are completely dismantled, cleaned, repaired, modified and/or re-coated so that they are like new again and often even better than that. In this way, the service life is extended and given a 2nd life. Ancillary but not unimportant, this way we also save raw materials and material costs, and reduce CO2 emissions.
The aim of this day is to describe a number of surface treatments that can be used to repair critical components. By critical components we mean (mechanical) parts of machines or production lines. These include pump shafts, wear parts, bearings, transport rollers, turbines, screws, cylinders, etc. We will highlight several techniques, such as hard chrome plating, laser cladding, HVOF spraying, decarburising, cold spraying, local touch up, etc.
The day will end with a visit to De Beleyr Engineering in Zele.
This event takes place in Dutch.
