Advantages
Laser cladding offers several advantages when compared with conventional coating processes, including higher quality coating material, very little distortion, and enhanced surface quality:
- Ability to place tailored performance-enhancing material exactly where required.
- Compatible with a wide choice of substrate and layer materials.
- Little or no porosity within the deposits (>99.9% density).
- Relatively low heat input results in a narrow heat affected zone.
- Minimal distortion in the substrate reduces the need for corrective machining.
- Easy automation and integration into CNC and CAD/CAM production environments.
- Reduced production times and improved thermal control.
- Good mechanical properties and suitable for the repair of worn parts.
Applications
Laser cladding is suitable for a variety of industries ranging from agriculture and aerospace to mining and power generation. Example applications include:
- Cutting Tools: Protects saw blades, counter blades, and disc harrows from wear and corrosion.
- Drilling Tools: Provides high-performance wear protection for oil, gas, and geothermal tools.
- Heat Exchangers: Offers corrosion resistance and toughness to prevent cracking.
- Hydraulic Cylinders: Superior alternative to chrome plating, improving durability by up to 100%.
- Replacement for Hard Chromium Plating: An efficient, high-speed solution for modern industrial requirements.
