In de technologische industrie worden dagelijks onderdelen gereinigd om corrosie te verwijderen of corrosie en slijtage te vermijden. Naast het reinigen moeten onderdelen die door corrosie of slijtage aangetast zijn vakkundig hersteld worden om ze terug te kunnen gebruiken. Deze studiedag belicht de beide groepen van bewerkingen en presenteert een aantal praktische cases. Hierbij zullen recente innovatieve technieken aan bod komen die problemen op het vlak van reinigen en herstellen succesvol hebben opgelost. - Droogijsstralen
