Laser cladding
Standard Particle Size Distribution45 — 120 μm
Laser cladding, also known as laser metal deposition, is a metal powder technology that uses a high-powered laser to melt and fuse metal powder onto a surface to create a coating or repair a damaged part.
In laser cladding, metal powder is fed into a stream of inert gas and directed through a nozzle onto the surface to be coated or repaired. A high-powered laser is then used to melt and fuse the metal particles to the surface, creating a strong and durable coating. The process is controlled by computer software to ensure precise and accurate application of the coating.
Applications
Laser cladding is used in a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive and medical. It is particularly useful for applications that require high precision and durability, such as turbine blades, engine components and medical implants. Laser cladding can also be used for repair and maintenance applications, such as repairing damaged parts or adding wear-resistant coatings to high-wear surfaces.
In summary, laser cladding is a versatile and reliable coating and repair method that offers high precision, strength and durability. Its ability to apply coatings to a wide variety of surfaces and its ability to produce strong and durable coatings make it a valuable tool in a wide range of industries.
