What are the future prospects of the remanufacturing technology of hydraulic rod laser cladding equipment?

Hydraulic Rod Laser Cladding Equipment Laser cladding technology, also known as laser remanufacturing and laser repair technology, is a new technology that uses high-density lasers and special laser cladding materials to strengthen various parts. It significantly improves work efficiency, enhances the surface hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear resistance of metal parts, extends the service life of parts, increases production, reduces consumption, and saves resources.

The laser cladding provided by the hydraulic rod laser cladding equipment is a new type of surface modification technology. Compared with electroplating, laser cladding has the characteristics of dense structure, low dilution rate, more suitable cladding materials, good bonding between the cladding layer and the substrate, and large changes in powder size and material composition. Therefore, laser cladding technology has broad application prospects.

Compared with electroplating, the advantages of laser cladding are as follows: First, in terms of environmental protection, the approval of chrome plating plants is becoming increasingly strict, and electroplating may be completely eliminated in the future; second, chrome-plated workpieces cannot meet the working conditions of large-height mines with corrosive gases or liquids; third, the service life of the laser cladding layer is more than 5 times that of the electroplating layer, Hydraulic Rod Laser Cladding Equipment The laser cladding process can replace the electroplating process of supports over 7 meters in China and those exported to developed countries; fourth, the next overhaul of the column after laser cladding is particularly simple, without the complicated process of stripping-plating iron or welding-re-chroming. Only local damage needs to be dealt with, thus saving time, funds, and protecting the environment.

Hydraulic rod laser cladding equipment remanufacturing technology is an advanced maintenance technology with new significance. It integrates advanced laser cladding processing technology, laser cladding material technology, and other technologies. It can not only restore the shape and size of damaged parts but also make their performance reach or even exceed that of new products, representing a new development direction in the maintenance of major engineering equipment.

Since its inception, the remanufacturing technology of hydraulic rod laser cladding equipment has been widely used as a maintenance technology. Currently, some companies have applied this technology to the laser repair of coal mine hydraulic support columns, including laser cladding of the middle column, laser repair of the moving column, laser cladding of the piston rod, laser remanufacturing of the shearer telescopic cylinder, and laser repair of the reducer shaft, all of which have achieved good results.

Hydraulic Rod Laser Cladding Equipment Remanufacturing technology is a green manufacturing technology that conforms to the national circular economy and sustainable development strategy and is one of the high-tech technologies supported by the state. With the deepening of basic research, the application range of laser remanufacturing technology will also expand. China has trillions of yuan in equipment assets, and the annual losses due to wear and corrosion exceeding 100 billion yuan, creating a broad market application prospect for laser remanufacturing technology.
