INFORMACIÓN DEL PROYECTO

DESCRIPCIÓN

: CUSTODIAN will rely on beams with specific shape and spatial energy distribution, designed upon the metallurgical studies and multiphysics simulation for each combination of process and material.To acomplish the deployment of customized beam shapes in relevant industrial environment, the consortium will perform a twofold photonic development: a compact, robust and dynamic beam shaping technology (Multi plane light conversion MPLC) and a colsed loop inline control system based on uncooled SWIR/MWIR sensors and FPGA architecture to ensure the quality and dynamicity of the beam shape requirements. The aplication scenarios of CUSTODIAN are:-LBW of austenitic steel for exhaust systems in automotive-SLM of nickel superalloys in energy and aeronautical fields

Impacto

There are two main objectives in the CUSTODIAN project: 1. To establish a general methodology of application-driven laser beam customization based on four main pillars: tailored microstructural evolution, multiphysics simulation of laser-based processes, beam shaping and process control. The first two are essential for the adequate development of optical equipment (beam shaper, laser head, control system), being driven and conditioned by the combination of process and material.2. To deploy and demonstrate this methodology on two relevant manufacturing scenarios: Laser Beam. Welding (LBW) of austenitic steel sheets for automotive industry and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) of 2 nickel-based alloys (In713LC for power generation industry and CM247LC for aircraft industry) to solve a problem of hot cracking which is the common denominator of these two scenarios.By achieving these main objectives, between 95-98% of defects will be eliminated in LBW/SLM parts, leading to production time decrease respect to the traditional manufacturing in 70 percent (LBW) and 83 percent (SLM) while reducing the total costs in 20 percent (LBW) and 60 percent (SLM).
