Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

White metal plain bearings are widely used in heavy machines. Traditional casting or welding production techniques are labor intensive, hard to control with high environmental impact. Laser-based additive manufacturing significantly improves material quality, makes production cleaner and more efficient; increases freedom in geometry and choice of material. This project will allow Stellba to offer laser-manufactured large diameter plain bearings as a unique service worldwide.
