The Work Package 3 started its activities since the beginning of the project. SITEC, as WP leader, is coordinating:
- The development of a high-speed laser-welding process, starting from the definition of the requirements and the development of a CAD model. A test of the SITEC welded interconnector is ongoing at Elcogen/VTT premises.
- The process development for high-speed coating process. The prototype for a large volume coating of interconnectors with integrated masking has been designed, manufactured (first tests in November 2023) and transferred to Fincoat.
