On November 7, the provincial science and technology conference and the provincial science and technology award were held in Nanjing. Professor Luo Kaiyu of the School of Mechanical Engineering, as the first person to complete, and Dr. Xu Xiang mainly participated in the project "Key Technologies and Typical Applications of Laser Deposition Manufacturing of Large-scale Equipment Power Components", which won the first prize of the application project of the 2023 Jiangsu Science and Technology Award, and Professor Luo Kaiyu was invited to attend the meeting.

In 2018, Professor Luo Kaiyu's team began to carry out research on laser directed energy deposition manufacturing and mobile laser repair with Nanjing Huirui Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd., aiming at the three major problems of deformation suppression, overall forming and on-site repair in the process of laser deposition manufacturing and repair of large and complex components, created a laser deposition coupling chemical effect forming technology system, independently developed the world's first environmentally adaptable large-scale hydropower equipment in-situ laser deposition repair equipment, and applied the core technology and equipment to Shanghai Aerospace, Hebei Ruizhao Laser, Shandong Energy Group and other units have strongly supported the Three Gorges Project, CZ series launch vehicles, Hualong No. 1 improved and other major national projects and the development of major heavy weapons, and have achieved significant economic and social benefits.

Jiangsu Science and Technology Award is the highest award in the field of science and technology in the province, aiming to reward scientific and technical personnel and organizations who have made outstanding contributions to the progress of science and technology and economic and social development in Jiangsu Province.
