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.

What Is Laser Hardening?
Laser hardening—also referred to as laser case hardening—is a heat treating process used to improve the strength and durability of component surfaces. It employs the use of high-powered diode lasers that apply energy to heat localized areas of the component surface. As the lasers move across the surface....

Traditional Welding vs. Laser Welding
Welding is a fabrication process that employs heat to join two or more separate pieces. Currently, industry professionals utilize both traditional arc-based welding, spot welding, and laser welding methods for their operations. Both process variations offer unique characteristics that make them suitable for different cases. For example, traditional welding....

Laser Cladding for Remanufacturing
Titanova’s laser cladding is a new weld repair process that can be used to restore critically worn surfaces of metal parts. Typical critical surfaces include the bearing journals, seal surfaces, hydraulic shafts, valve seats/gates, etc. Titanova’s laser cladding remanufacturing technology creates less heat, dilution, and much smoother weld overlays.....
