What is laser-Cladding?

Laser Cladding is a process in which a highly concentrated laser beam is used as a heat source to create a pool on the base material onto which a filler material or powder is directly fed into the pool via special nozzles. The powder/filler is being heated by introducing it in the same laser heat source onto the required base material to form a metallurgically bonded layer of coating.

What Is Laser Cladding Technology?

Laser cladding technology is an advanced manufacturing technique used to enhance the surface properties of metals and alloys. It uses high-powered laser light to deposit special effects onto the substrate. This method is primarily used to improve the corrosion resistance, corrosion resistance and overall performance of materials, thereby extending their lifetime

The process begins with uniform drying of the powder coating, followed by fusion application of the substrate. The focused laser beam ensures precise control of the heat output, so that the material forms a metallic bond with the base metal. This results in a durable and high-quality coating that exhibits excellent adhesion and minimal friction between the substrate and the deposited material

How Does Laser Cladding Technology Works

Laser cladding works via coating the substrate with a unique layer using a excessive-powered laser beam. This system entails several steps:

Preparation: The substrate floor is very well cleaned and prepared to make sure excellent adhesion of the coatings.

Application A coating powder selected based at the favored homes is uniformly applied to the substrate floor

Laser pulse: A excessive-strength laser beam is directed at a powdered cloth, swiftly heating it to a melting factor. The intense heat produced through the laser reasons the powder to melt and bond with the substrate.

Delivering robust Laser Cladding Services in India

Laser Cladding Technology is the most precise welding process because of its unique features that accurately restore the original composition of the metals. The process seamlessly creates a bond between the base material and the layer. During the laser cladding process, protective layers for machineries are generated to fight wear and corrosion. The demand and preference for Laser cladding process is growing because of its application in various industrial purposes such as surface enhancement, repair of parts, etc. Endurance Wear Solutions lays a strong foundation that covers all machineries’ coating requirements, subsequently helping companies focus on increasing their business profitability. 

EWS strongly believes that resilient and rigid metallic surfaces are a prerequisite for accurate manufacturing processes. Endurance Wear Solutions, with its amazing laser cladding technology, has the expertise in preparing the toughest metallic surfaces that surpass extreme wear and high temperature.   

Understanding and meeting client parameters in depth is the base of the coating solutions before proceeding for the process. At EWS, we have developed a robust laser cladding process that ensures the elimination of porosity and achieves the highest resistance to corrosion and oxidation.   

Benefits Of Robotic Laser Cladding in India:

The main advantages of the system against arc welding methods are lower heat distortion, reduced dilution (typically <4%), lower porosity (<1%), better surface uniformity and negligible heat affected zone (HAZ). Additionally, subject properties practically eliminate the need for post-processing and its associated time and costs.

With the diode laser cladding technique, cracking and de-lamination that often follows the arc welding is practically eliminated.
Laser cladding uses a metallurgical bond between the base material and the substrate, unlike a thermal spray process where the bond is mechanical.

FAQ's

Laser cladding uses a laser to melt metal powder or wire onto a surface, creating a precise, wear-resistant coating. It can repair damage and improve properties like wear resistance without much heat affecting the underlying material. This makes it a highly accurate welding process. Key Points:

  • Uses laser to melt metal onto a surface.
  • Creates precise, wear-resistant coatings.
  • Repairs damage and improves properties.
  • Highly accurate welding process.

Laser cladding coats surfaces with metal using a focused laser beam. The laser melts powdered or wire metal, fusing it onto the target area. This creates a strong, wear-resistant coating.

The laser cladding process is a technique that uses a laser to melt a coating material onto a substrate to improve its surface properties.

Laser cladding is typically used when a substrate's surface properties need to be improved, such as when it needs to be made more wear-resistant, more corrosion-resistant, or have improved thermal conductivity. It is also used when traditional coating methods are not suitable for the specific application.

Laser cladding was invented in the early 1990s, and it has since become increasingly popular in various industries due to its ability to improve surface properties and extend the life of components.
