Intéressant, de ce que j'en comprends, une "veste" à coller au laser sur des plaques pour les renforcer et diminuer l'épaisseur et donc le poids habituel. Un peu comme des fibres qu'on peut rajouter en bricolage à certaines colles/mastics/enduits de rebouchage pour les renforcer/rigidifier.
Update: ou de la fibre de verre pour solidifier une structure
Je cite l'annonce de l'IPT@fraunhofer: Light and strong: Hybrid lightweight components made of steel and fiber-reinforced plastics:
In recent years there has been a sharp increase in demand for lighter components for applications in mobility and transport in response to the need to save weight, and therefore energy and resources. Hybrid components made of steel, locally functionalized with fiber-reinforced plastics combine high mechanical performance with low weight. Demand for manufacturing processes conducive to cost-effective mass-production is burgeoning. In the EU research project “ComMUnion”, the two Aachen-based Fraunhofer Institutes for Production Technology IPT and for Laser Technology ILT, in collaboration with 14 partners from industry, research and academia, are developing industrial processes and solutions for hybrid lightweight design by combining metal and polymer-matrix composites for automotive and aerospace applications.
