Why Choose Laser Cladding?
Laser cladding is one of the most advanced repair and surface protection technologies available today. By fusing a high-performance alloy directly into the base material with a highly focused laser beam, we deliver repairs and coatings that are stronger, longer lasting, and more precise than traditional methods.
Key Advantages of Laser Cladding:
✅ Low Dilution, High Purity – The concentrated laser creates clean, pure cladding with minimal mixing into the base material.
✅ One-Pass Results – A single layer can achieve the required hardness, microstructure, and chemistry — saving time and cost.
✅ Minimal Heat Input – The small heat-affected zone protects the original material, avoiding distortion and preserving mechanical properties.
✅ Dimensional Accuracy – Parts maintain OEM dimensions and close tolerances, reducing or eliminating the need for post-machining.
✅ Superior Metallurgical Bonding – Unlike thermal spray coatings, laser cladding fully fuses with the substrate, resisting cracking, spalling, and delamination under heavy load or impact.
✅ Impact & Flex Resistance – With metallurgical bonding, the clad layer withstands rock strikes, vibration, and substrate flexing without failure.
✅ Corrosion & Wear Protection – Dense, crack-free, and porosity-free layers keep out corrosive liquids and gases, preventing catastrophic damage.
✅ Custom Alloys On-Demand – Elemental powders can be mixed in-situ, enabling tailored alloys for your specific operating environment.
