Abstract: A method for the production of a cylinder head for an internal combustion engine. The production method presentes the steps of: dividing the cylinder head into a main part, where there is the flame deck making up the crown of each cylinder, and an operating part, where there are the housings of the control means of the valves; manufacturing, at first, the sole main part of the cylinder head by means of a casting process in a mould; and manufacturing, subsequently, the operating part of the cylinder head by means of additive manufacturing, which adds layer upon layer starting from the previously manufactured main part of the cylinder head.

Abstract: The method for repairing a turbomachine component comprises the steps of: setting up a laser cladding machine; preparing a portion of a turbomachine component to be repaired by removing a damaged volume of the component; rotating the turbomachine component with respect to the laser cladding machine; rebuilding the damaged volume by laser cladding in order to obtain a rebuilded volume in the damaged component; applying a heat treatment to the rebuilded volume of the turbomachine component; finishing a surface of the rebuilded volume; non-destructively testing the rebuilded volume; wherein the step of setting up the laser cladding machine includes some sub-steps for defining the parameters to operate said rebuilding phase.

Abstract: A method for repairing a turbomachine component comprises the steps of: setting up a laser cladding machine including a laser source a powder feeder and an air source, for repairing a narrow recess of the turbomachine component; defining a path including areas to be repaired by laser cladding within the narrow recess; moving forward the laser cladding machine or the turbomachine component, in order that said path is covered from the first to the second end point by the laser beam and the powder jet for repairing said areas to be repaired; moving backward the laser cladding machine or the turbomachine component, in order that said path is covered from the second to the first end point by the air jet for blowing away the powder in excess.
