Laser Cladding Services

Since 1988, we have been developing laser cladding services for a variety of applications in different industries, ranging from oil and gas downhole applications to gas turbine components.

Due to its superior focusing ability, lasers allow power densities that are not typically possible with conventional thermal processes. This enables us to process components with minimal thermal loading and distortion. Laser cladding is particularly suitable for applications demanding high dimensional accuracy, as well as repair of critical components that can be costly to replace.

Additional applications include materials that are difficult to weld using conventional methods, such as high-temperature-resistant nickel-based alloys in gas turbines or tungsten-carbide-filled wear-protection coatings. Typical components include turbine blades, drilling equipment, pump components and much more.

Lasers allow power densities that are typically not possible with conventional thermal processes, making laser cladding particularly suitable when high dimensional accuracy is required.
