Combination of different materials

MH Wirth wanted to test a new material for wear pads to increase the life of a hard-wearing component.

We used a laser deposition welding printer to produce a test series of the component, printing tool steel grooves on a regular steel pipe. The new design, material and production method resulted in much higher durability and increased service life.

Using additive manufacturing as production method for the component, different materials could be combined in a way significantly reducing the raw material costs.
