Laser cladding solution
Laser cladding, also known as laser cladding or laser coating, is a new surface modification technology. It forms a metallurgically bonded additive cladding layer on the surface of the substrate by adding a cladding material to the substrate surface and using a high-energy density laser beam to melt it together with a thin layer on the substrate surface.
Characteristics of laser cladding: The dilution of the cladding layer is low but the bonding strength is strong, and it forms a metallurgical bond with the substrate, which can significantly improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, oxidation resistance or electrical properties of the substrate material surface, thereby achieving the purpose of surface modification or repair, meeting the specific performance requirements of the material surface while saving a lot of material costs. Compared with welding, spraying, electroplating, and gas-phase deposition, laser cladding has the characteristics of low dilution, dense structure, good adhesion between coating and substrate, suitable for cladding materials, and large changes in particle size and content. Therefore, the application prospects of laser cladding technology are very broad.
