Laser cladding method improves the surface performance of parts

Laser cladding, also known as laser metal deposition, is a process of depositing one material onto another.
When the laser beam scans the target surface, metal powder or wire flow is fed into the molten pool formed by the laser beam, thereby producing the required material coating.

The laser cladding method improves the surface properties of the parts, such as wear resistance, and allows for the repair of damaged or worn surfaces.
One of the most precise welding procedures is used to establish this mechanical connection between the substrate and layer.

Laser cladding has improved the performance of industrial products by producing protective layers to prevent wear and corrosion.

Engineers can use universal base metal alloys to design parts, which helps protect natural resources.
Then, the components are locally laser melted with high alloy materials to provide appropriate performance characteristics.

Laser cladding is also a method used to restore and remanufacture high-value components into their original shape.

In addition to the shape of fixed parts, selecting additive manufacturing materials with better wear characteristics than the original components can also improve service life and performance.
