The Nuclear AMRC are tendering to implement two upgrades to an existing disc laser cell currently in place, with the supply, installation, and commissioning of the following equipment which are required to be compatible with the existing cell:

• oCo-axial wire feed optical processing head (CWFH)
• oLaser beam oscillation optical processing (BOH) head
• oIn-process key-hole monitoring (IPM) system

Upgrade 1

A co-axial wire feed optical processing head (CWFH) for use in additive manufacturing and dissimilar metal overlaying (cladding).
