Cambridge Vacuum Engineering (CVE) has announced the successful completion of a Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with Cranfield University that will increase welding options available to engineers worldwide. Together, the two organizations have solved the undesirable optics contamination phenomenon associated with laser-in-vacuum welding, paving the way for full-scale industrial exploitation of the technology.
The conclusion of the KTP is set to yield tangible benefits for companies that want to achieve deeper-penetration welds while improving weld quality, reducing oxidization, and minimizing the time needed for part cleaning after welding.
