Read about the HILASE Centre in a new article on the Finmag news website. The report focuses on advanced manufacturing technologies and one of the examples given is the use of Laser Shock Peening (LSP) on a key sample from the Škoda Auto production line.
Read the full article (in Czech).
LSP technology is used to increase the service life of metal components, especially for those that undergo cyclic loading or suffer from corrosion cracking. The principal advantages compared to similar methods are the high depth of imposed compressive stresses and the ability to precisely target problem areas with the laser beam.
Watch a video of the LSP process.
