Benefits of laser cladding

The main advantage of laser cladding is the low heat input into the substrate. Compared to conventional welding this results in:

• Minimal distortion of the substrate;
• Small heat-affected zone;
• Minimal dilution of the coating by the substrate;

Laser cladding is an automated process:

• Thermal input accurately controlled;
• Excellent process stability and reproducibility.

Result is a coating with:

• Fine, homogeneous microstructure;
• Metallurgical bond to the substrate;
• 100% Density.
