Hydraulic rod laser cladding manufacturer details the advantages and characteristics of laser cladding technology

Laser cladding ( Laser cladding of hydraulic rods ) uses high-energy lasers as a heat source and metal alloy powder as welding material. The laser and alloy powder (or wire) act on the metal surface synchronously, rapidly melting to form a molten pool, which then rapidly solidifies to form a dense and uniform metallurgical bonding layer with controllable thickness.

Laser cladding of hydraulic rods

　　 Laser cladding of hydraulic rods Manufacturers indicate that compared with many traditional surface treatment technologies, laser cladding technology has the following significant advantages and characteristics:

　　1) High metallurgical bonding strength. Laser cladding uses the extremely high concentrated energy of a high-energy laser beam to instantly melt the workpiece surface, while completely melting the alloy powder pre-placed on the workpiece surface or automatically fed synchronously with the laser beam. After laser beam scanning, the substrate cools and rapidly solidifies, obtaining a dense coating alloy layer metallurgically bonded to the substrate.

　　2) Selectable hardness and thickness. After laser cladding, the hardness of the cladding layer can be selected between HRC20-62, and the cladding thickness can be adjusted as needed.

　　3) Wear resistance and corrosion resistance. A superior corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant alloy layer can be formed on the surface of ordinary carbon steel workpieces, thereby extending the service life of the workpieces.

　　4) Reduced cost and energy consumption. By forming alloy coatings with different metallurgical bonding, alloy composition, and properties on the substrate surface, a high-performance alloy functional layer can be produced on a low-cost substrate, thereby saving material costs.

　　5) High coating quality. Small deformation, good mechanical repeatability, dense interface structure, fine grains, and no defects such as pores and cracks.

　　Applications of laser cladding compiled by hydraulic rod laser cladding manufacturers

　　After decades of development, laser cladding technology has moved from the laboratory to practical industrial applications, widely used in metallurgy, coal, petrochemicals, transportation, machinery manufacturing, mold manufacturing, hardware tools, and other industries.

　　1. Metallurgy

　　 Laser cladding of hydraulic rods Repair equipment can prepare high-performance alloy surfaces on the metal substrate of parts, which can significantly improve their wear resistance, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, oxidation resistance, and electrical properties. It can not only extend the service life of new parts but also repair worn parts through cladding to restore their original dimensions, thereby reducing the replacement cycle of parts.

　　2. Coal machinery

　Remanufacturing can be performed on the surface of new and old parts, such as laser cladding of hydraulic cylinders and columns, thereby effectively improving the wear and corrosion resistance of parts and extending their service life.

　　3. Petrochemicals

　　In the petrochemical industry, due to the long-term operation of equipment in harsh environments, corrosion and wear are easily produced on products, so regular maintenance of equipment components is particularly important. It can repair failed parts, restore their original dimensions, and restore equipment use.
