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.
