Laser Cladding Powders
Precision Deposition. Superior Protection. Lasting Performance.
Laser cladding is a highly consistent and repeatable, automated process that produces metallurgically bonded coatings with minimal dilution and a negligible heat-affected zone (HAZ). This is due to its localized, short-duration, high-energy molten pool, which provides a rapid heating and solidification rate promoting a finer grain structure. This allows for the precise deposition of tough, wear-resistant materials that significantly enhance performance and durability.
This advanced surfacing technique is ideal for high-value parts that demand tight tolerances and corrosion or abrasion protection. Applications include superheater tubes, boiler tubes, panels, and coal nozzles in waste-to-energy; pump shafts, rods, couplings, valves, seats, and downhole drilling tools such as stabilizers and sleeves in oil & gas; continuous caster rolls in steel production; extrusion screw flights for injection molding; aerospace turbine blades and components; glass container industry neck rings and molds, and more.
