Laser Cladding Applications

Titanova has developed material and process technology in order to achieve crack and pore free laser weld overlays for ductile cast iron using an.

Laser cladding applications.

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. Laser cladding is realized either as wire laser hot wire cladding or powder cladding. 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.

For specialized laser cladding applications we can develop customized solutions based on different base and cladding material combinations. The exposure time is short which creates only a short delay as the cooling is quick. Titanova continues to develop new applications for the laser cladding process. Titanova has proven production worthy process for laser weld overlay repair of expensive ductile cast iron components.

Multipurpose laser cladding laser heat treat laser remelting and laser additive powders. Single variable or multi layer options. Extensive solution specific powder availability. Laser cladding process laser cladding is a weld build up process and a complementing coating technology to thermal spray.

Our goal is to prolong product life cycle and reduce repair cost and down time. Components being laser clad are exposed to higher temperatures than traditional thermal spray produces so care. 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. 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.

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. Additional tungsten carbide based powders are now available for impact erosion and extreme abrasion applications. 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. Some of the more common materials we work with are shown here.

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.
