Product Information

Hardfacing Wires

Hardfacing Wires

Stockcode:

Technodur® and Technosphere® are made up of a nickel core wire, coated with a thick layer of Tungsten Carbide and Ni Cr B Si alloy. They are applied manually using oxyacetylene or Tig welding.

The difference between Technodur® and Technosphere® lies in the use of spherical Tungsten Carbide grains (Spherotene®).

The spherical shape and extreme hardness of Spherotene® gives Technosphere®, amongst other properties, two main advantages:

Good shock resistance 

Unequalled wear resistance

This type of welding is easy, economic and also offers the major advantage of preserving the hardness of the Tungsten Carbide particles, which would not be the case if using other welding processes.

USE & PACKAGING:

Can be applied to all non-martensitic steels and weldable stainless steels. Can be welded easily onto itself for refurbishment of worn parts.
Can be applied in-house by our trained personnel to your free issue parts, or is available on 5kg or 20kg coils for your own application.

About us

In 2003, Laser Cladding Technology Ltd was established as a joint venture with Technogenia SA (France) and has subsequently grown to become the foremost laser cladding provider in the UK.

Our reputation has been established through collaborations with prominent Blue Chip organisations in the UK, and we extend our services to numerous industries. The laser cladding process has proven to be a source of fresh and inventive solutions for our clients.

Laser Cladding Technology employs diode laser technology and utilises patented Tungsten Carbide wear-resistant materials from Technogenia, along with various other metallic compositions. This enables us to provide exceptional material deposition solutions that are precisely customised to meet our customers' specific and demanding needs.

The Laser Cladding Process
 
Laser Cladding, also known as Laser Deposition, is a controlled processing method employed to add one material onto the surface of another.

The process involves directing a focused laser beam across the target surface while simultaneously feeding a desired metallic powder into the stream. This results in the deposition of the chosen material as a coating on the surface.

As a result, the applied material can be selectively and accurately deposited with minimal heat input precisely where it is needed.

Process Advantages

It is possible to position additional material with precision exactly where it is intended.

A vast selection of diverse materials can be both applied and deposited onto the surface.

The deposits are completely fused to the substrate, exhibiting minimal or no porosity.

The limited heat input leads to a narrow heat-affected zone (HAZ).

Limited heat input also leads to reduced substrate distortion and decreases the necessity for additional corrective machining.
The process is easily automatable and can be seamlessly integrated into CAD/CAM and CNC production settings.
