Laser Cladding, Heat
Treating and Welding
Stay ahead of competitors with the latest trends, services, and offerings.
Laser cladding is part of the growing field of repair, salvage, and remanufacturing sweeping the industrialized world. Extend the life of your products - and save employee work time by repairing, remanufacturing, and refurbishing components in the steel, pump, wastewater, chemicals, and plastics industries. Don't just make it like new; make it better than new!
Unlike thermal spray coatings, laser cladding has a welded bond. Laser clad overlays are much more robust and durable than thermal spray coatings. Typical thickness of laser cladding overlays are 0.030" thick, and up to 0.080" thick can be applied in a single pass.
Laser cladding is popular in agriculture, off-road vehicles, chemicals and plastics, pump repair, and more. Laser clad overlays are 100% homogeneous, with no porosity. So their chemical and corrosion resistance is far superior to thermal spray applied overlays. Whereas thermal spray coatings are not viable for soil contact, laser clad overlays can stand dynamic impact from rocks and other hard elements in soil.
