Laser Cladding Technology Service Thermal Spray Metal Surface Treatment Coating Spray Process

Laser cladding is a surface engineering process. A high-power laser beam forms a melt pool on the substrate. Metal powder or wire is fed into the pool and solidifies rapidly, creating a dense, metallurgically bonded coating.

Hard chrome plating and thermal spray usually rely on mechanical or electrolytic adhesion. Laser cladding creates a metallurgical bond with the substrate, very low dilution, low porosity, and much better resistance to delamination under load.

Carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, cast iron, nickel-based alloys such as Inconel, cobalt-based alloys such as Stellite, iron-based alloys, and tungsten carbide composites.

Heat input is localized, so the heat-affected zone is small and thermal distortion is minimal. The original metallurgical properties of the substrate are largely preserved.
