About

The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to WB Alloy Welding Products Ltd for the supply of a welding manipulator to facilitate large-scale diode laser cladding work on behalf of the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (Nuclear AMRC Group) at Catcliffe, South Yorkshire.

The equipment addresses the Nuclear AMRC's current lack of capability to manipulate large geometry components typical of small modular reactors (SMRs), enabling potential work within the SMR market and the manufacture of large assembly demonstrators.

The contract value was £115,000.
