Laser cladding is a high-precision surface modification process where a laser beam melts a powder or wire feed material onto a substrate to create a metallurgically bonded layer. This process enhances surface properties such as wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal performance. Laser cladding is used in industries like aerospace, automotive, and power generation for component repair and performance enhancement.
High Precision & Low Heat Input:
The laser’s fine control results in minimal heat-affected zones (HAZ), reducing distortion. The heat input is typically less than 1 kJ/mm.
Superior Material Properties:
Cladded layers, using materials like tungsten carbide and titanium alloys, can reach 60-70 HRC, providing excellent wear and corrosion resistance.
Minimal Waste & Eco-Friendly:
The process produces little material waste and eliminates the need for toxic chemicals, making it more sustainable than traditional methods.
Versatility:
It can be applied to a range of materials such as steel, aluminum, and titanium for repairs and wear-resistant coatings. Layer thicknesses range from 0.5 mm to 5 mm.
Enhanced Performance:
The cladded surface can withstand temperatures up to 800-1000°C, making it ideal for high-temperature and abrasive environments.
