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.

Laser Cladding and Hard Facing for the Oil and Gas Industry
Laser cladding and hard laser facing are welding techniques that provide a protective surface coating on metal parts. Also called laser metal deposition (LMD), laser cladding utilizes a focused laser beam to generate heat, and clad material is simultaneously fed into the resulting melt pool on the targeted surface....

Hot & Cold Wire Feed Laser Welding and Laser Weld Overlay
Welding involves joining two metal parts using heat to melt them together. Weld overlay involves adding to the surface of a metal component to recover lost dimensions or changing the chemistry of the metal surface . Using the laser as the heat source, hot....

What Is Weld Overlay?
While welding is often used to join metals together, it can also be used as a protective technique. Weld overlay, also known as weld cladding, is the process of melting a protective layer of metal atop another metal surface. The application of laser light heats and melts the cladding....
