Laser Cladding Applications

Laser cladding is a process in which a metal coating is applied onto the surface of a part using a laser as the heat source.

Laser cladding applications.

The exposure time is short which creates only a short delay as the cooling is quick. The process is often used to create a protective coating for increased functionality as well as restore damaged or worn surfaces. New laser added in okc for id and od laser cladding applications. It is increasingly used instead of pta plasma transferred arc welding and easily outperforms conventional welding methods like tig tungsten inert gas for advanced weld repair applications.

Multipurpose laser cladding laser heat treat laser remelting and laser additive powders. Laser clad overlays are excellent in a wide range of applications but the higher cost of a welded overlay when compared to a thermal spray solution often demands that laser cladding services are primarily specified for only the most extreme applications. Our activities are meant to optimize the cost and environmental resources used in the manufacturing and remanufacturing industry from our knowledge adaptive thinking and technology. Laser cladding is realized either as wire laser hot wire cladding or powder cladding.

Additional tungsten carbide based powders are now available for impact erosion and extreme abrasion applications. Titanova continues to develop new applications for the laser cladding process. Technogenia oklahoma adds shot peening equipment services and blanchard surface grinding equipment to its growing list of capabilities including od and id grinding honing machining and ndt. The laser beam creates a molten pool at the workpiece surface to which is simultaneously added the laser coating material wire or powder molten by the laser.

Extensive solution specific powder availability. Ductile iron enhancement opportunities. Some of the more common materials we work with are shown here. For specialized laser cladding applications we can develop customized solutions based on different base and cladding material combinations.

Single variable or multi layer options. Laser cladding lpf applications of products at the huffman corporation a manufacturer of multi axes cnc superabrasive profile grinding machines laser powder fusion lpf cladding and welding and abrasive waterjet systems. Titanova has proven production worthy process for laser weld overlay repair of expensive ductile cast iron components. Titanova has developed material and process technology in order to achieve crack and pore free laser weld overlays for ductile cast iron using an.

Components being laser clad are exposed to higher temperatures than traditional thermal spray produces so care.
