INTRODUCTION
LTMAP (Laser texturing module for multi-material adhesion promotion) by AIM (ES) owning technology for the laser processing of metallic materials for adhesiveless bonding between dissimilar components.
FEATURES/BENEFITS
- Services:
- Viability study: Considering particular conditions of the materials and manufacturing chain
- Optimization of laser texturing: Strategies to improve adhesion strength between dissimilar materials.
- Manufacturing of initial samples: For validation of the process, complying with quality yield requirements and cycle time.
- Benefits: It reduces the manufacturing time of hybrid parts by substituting conventional bonding process (applying adhesive and curing) and reduces the risk of sudden failure during the parts service life (failure of adhesive bonding is unpredictable and sudden).
