MATEX PM is a private company with a 20-year tradition. It specialises in the laser processing of metallic materials at the highest technological level – laser hardening, cladding, and welding.

The company has technologies that can increase the durability of turbine blades, thereby extending their service life. The key methods are hardening – strengthening the material using a laser – and welding. The exhibited piece is an example of a blade whose part is coated with a special cobalt-based weld overlay material. A blade treated in this way has significantly higher resistance to erosion caused by water droplets, which increases the service life of the entire turbine while also improving its efficiency. Although this solution is technically demanding, it is economically advantageous and environmentally friendly.

THE PROCESS OF TURBINIC BOTTLE PRODUCTION

Membership in the Klastr MECHATRONIKA brings many benefits. One of the most significant opportunities is presenting innovative technologies to a professional audience at specialised events. Cooperation among cluster members allows us to share information about modern technologies as well as the challenges we face. Another highly valuable aspect is the ability to raise awareness among students, to show them specific applications of technologies and their use in practice. Young people represent significant potential for the future development and implementation of new solutions.
