Laser Cladding

Laser Cladding, also known as laser deposition or laser cladding, is a new surface modification technology. It is a new surface modification technology, which forms a metallurgical additive cladding layer on the surface of the base material by adding the cladding material on the surface of the base material and using the laser beam with high energy density to make it melt with the thin layer of the surface of the base material.
Laser cladding features: low dilution of the cladding layer but the bonding force is strong, and the substrate is metallurgical bonding, which can significantly improve the wear-resistant, corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, oxidation-resistant, or electrical properties of the substrate material surface, so as to achieve the purpose of the surface modification or repair to meet the material surface of the specific performance requirements at the same time to save a lot of material costs. Compared with surfacing, spraying, electroplating, and vapor phase deposition, laser cladding has the characteristics of small dilution, dense organization, good combination of coating and substrate, suitable for cladding materials, large changes in particle size and content, etc. Therefore, the application prospect of laser cladding technology is very broad.
Coating materials: widely used laser cladding materials include: nickel-based, cobalt-based, iron-based, titanium alloys, copper alloys, granular metal matrix composites, ceramic materials, and so on.
