Benefits of laser cladding
Laser cladding delivers unmatched precision and performance for industrial applications. From minimal heat distortion to exceptional coating quality, discover why leading industries choose APEX ETG’s advanced laser cladding technology.
What is laser cladding?
Laser cladding is an advanced surface engineering technique for fusing a pure metal or alloy in its powder form onto a substrate using high precision laser beams. This can be applied to a new or damaged component. The process of laser cladding enhances the substrate’s resistance to wear, corrosion, abrasion, and impact.
Enhanced component durability
APEX ETG’s laser cladding enhances component durability, ensuring longer-lasting and more reliable parts.
Unlike traditional welding methods, laser cladding preserves the integrity of heat-sensitive materials while delivering superior coating adhesion and minimal heat distortion.
Improved wear resistance
APEX ETG’s laser cladding, components gain improved wear resistance, standing up to even the harshest conditions. Advanced metallurgically bonded coatings ensure base materials retain their original properties, delivering high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and precise dimensional control. The focused laser beam creates a refined microstructure with minimal dilution, resulting in coatings that significantly outperform thermal spray and arc welding alternatives in both quality and longevity.
Cost-effective solutions
Reduce your total operational costs with laser cladding’s exceptional material efficiency and minimal waste generation. Our process achieves up to 95% deposit efficiency, uses less coating material than traditional methods, and requires minimal pre and post-machining. By extending component lifespan by 3-5 times and reducing replacement frequency, laser cladding delivers rapid ROI while supporting your sustainability goals through reduced material consumption and energy usage.
A sustainable solution
APEX ETG’s laser cladding presents an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional surface technologies, as it reduces material waste, minimises the need for hazardous coatings, and offers non-intrusive application methods, contributing to a greener and more sustainable future.
