Laser Cladding
Ultra-fast laser metal deposition (LMD) solutions engineered for wear protection, corrosion control, and high-precision component restoration.
Precision Laser Metal Deposition & Surface Hardening
Scantech Laser provides advanced industrial laser cladding systems that deposit metallurgical alloys, carbomix coatings, and specialized powder materials onto metallic substrates. Operating with minimal heat input and dilution under 5%, our systems deliver exceptional metallurgical bonding with minimal thermal distortion.
Extends Component Service Life
Applies pore-free, wear-resistant carbide and cobalt/nickel-based alloy layers directly to critical friction points, extending component operational lifespans by up to 500% in extreme industrial environments.
Substantial Cost Reduction
Enables localized surface modification of economic base metals instead of full-exotic alloy manufacturing. Restores worn hydraulic shafts, turbine components, and automotive tooling to original specifications.
Regulatory Compliance Ready
Supports Euro 7 and BS7 automotive standards by cladding grey cast-iron brake discs with ultra-thin, low-particulate wear surfaces, dramatically suppressing brake dust emissions.
Why Global Manufacturers Select Laser Cladding
Engineered in ISO 9001 certified facilities, Scantech Laser cladding heads and multi-axis CNC systems deliver quantifiable processing repeatability for international procurement specs.
Precise Material Deposition
Integrated closed-loop powder feeders maintain ±1.5% mass-flow rate consistency. High-precision laser optics allow exact clad height adjustments from 0.2 mm to 3.0 mm per single pass with zero material splatter.
Minimal Heat-Affected Zone (HAZ)
Localized laser beam focus ensures rapid melt-pool solidification, preventing structural phase changes or grain coarsening in heat-sensitive substrate alloys like 4140, 17-4PH, and titanium grades.
Metallurgical Bond Integrity
Creates true atomic inter-diffusion bonding with dilution ratios under 5%, preventing delamination or micro-cracking common in plasma spray or thermal coating processes under high shear load.
Broad Substrate & Alloy Compatibility
Deposits Nickel-based (Inconel 625/718), Cobalt-based (Stellite 6/12), Stainless Steels (316L/420), and Tungsten Carbide matrix composites onto cylindrical, flat, or complex 3D profiles.
Laser Cladding & Deposition Configurations
Select from tailored system layouts optimized for high-volume cylindrical cladding, internal bore coating, or robotic 3D Direct Energy Deposition (DED).
Blown Powder Laser Cladding
Co-axial nozzle design feeds metallic powder directly into the laser focal point. Ideal for multi-directional cladding, 3D repair, and custom alloy blending during process run.
High-Speed Wire-Feed Cladding
Precision wire feeder feeds 0.8mm–1.6mm solid wire into the melt pool. Delivers 100% material utilization efficiency, zero airborne dust creation, and clean shop-floor integration.
Ultra-High-Speed EHLA Cladding
Melts powder particles in-flight prior to substrate impact. Achieves processing speeds up to 100 m/min for thin layer coatings (20–300 µm) on hydraulic shafts and brake discs.
