Laser Cladding
Laser cladding is a process of overlay-welding a base metal with a corrosion, erosion or wear resistant (laser hardfacing) metal using diode lasers.

Laser Hardfacing
Laser hardfacing is a unique laser cladding process that can apply a thin layer of welded metal with embedded super-hard particles producing extreme wear resistant coatings.

Laser Remanufacturing
Due to its low heat and distortion, laser cladding can also be used to add thin, weld metal layers back onto used parts, enabling the remanufacturing of the part.

Titanova Laser Annealing or Laser Tempering
Laser tempering, or laser surface annealing, involves the precise application of a high-energy laser beam to a specific area of the material’s surface. The same laser process that is used to surface harden can be used to temper or bring back the hardness of a previously heat treated surface.....

Locomotive Engine Crankshafts
A locomotive engine crankshaft is a powertrain system component that converts the reciprocating motion of the pistons into rotational motion. This is necessary to drive the locomotive’s wheels and propel it forward. It is usually made of high-strength alloy steel to withstand the immense forces and stresses it experiences....

On Track Railroad Laser Additive Repair Manganese Steel
Railroads rely heavily on the efficiency and reliability of their rail network infrastructure. In the USA, railroads spend billions of dollars on rail networks for replacement, improvement, and expansion. Trackwork frogs and crossing points are a particularly special component that requires constant and special attention. These are major track....
