High Speed Laser Cladding Technology

Anti-Corrosion Surfacing For Waste Incineration Boiler Heating Surface

Professional high speed laser cladding technology for boiler membrane wall, superheater and economizer tubes, solve high temperature chlorine & sulfur corrosion and fly ash abrasion problems.

High Speed Laser Cladding Technology Overview

With the rapid expansion of municipal waste incineration power plants and renovation of old incinerators, boiler heating surfaces suffer severe high-temperature corrosion and abrasion due to massive chlorine and sulfur elements contained in garbage flue gas. Higher boiler temperature & pressure parameters will further accelerate tube corrosion and shorten service life.

CMT hardfacing is widely adopted as mainstream solution currently, but it has obvious drawbacks of high raw material cost and low processing efficiency. Our factory introduces advanced high speed laser cladding, a brand-new metal surface modification technology.

The technology adopts high energy density laser beam to melt base metal together with cladding powder synchronously, forming metallurgically bonded overlay on boiler tube substrate. By adjusting different cladding alloy materials, we can solve both high-temperature corrosion and heavy abrasion problems of incinerator heating surfaces, greatly extend the service cycle of boiler components.

Core Advantages Compared With Conventional Surfacing Processes

1. Comparison vs CMT Hardfacing

  • Adjustable coating thickness, thin overlay available to reduce alloy material cost
  • Uniform performance through full coating layer; CMT hardfacing shows performance attenuation from outer surface to inner substrate
  • Diversified cladding powder options; ceramic phase can be added to boost abrasion resistance, while CMT mainly relies on Inconel 625 wire

2. Comparison vs CRT Induction Remelting

  • Wider selection range of cladding alloy materials
  • Higher metallurgical bonding strength between coating and base tube

3. Four Processes Horizontal Comparison Table (Thermal Spray / Hardfacing / Electroplating / Laser Cladding)

Item Thermal Spray Hardfacing & Spray Welding Electroplating High Speed Laser Cladding
Coating Bonding Force Mechanical adhesion Metallurgical bonding Physical thin film adhesion Metallurgical bonding
Abrasion Resistance Medium Good Poor Excellent
Porosity & Shrinkage Cavity Many pores Few defects Few defects Few defects
Heat Affect Zone & Deformation Small Large Small Small
Substrate Hardening Risk No hardening Hardened zone exists No hardening No hardening
Dilution Rate No dilution High dilution No dilution Ultra-low dilution
Processing Efficiency High Medium High Medium-High
Damaged Part Repair Capacity Limited repair effect Repairable but easy thermal damage Not fit heavy damage Ideal for severely corroded & worn parts repair
Process Maturity & Application Range Mature, widely used Relatively mature Mature, multi-layer steps required Fully mature, wide application
Economic Performance Low cost Medium cost Good economy Medium overall cost
Environmental Protection General Excellent General Excellent

Conclusion: High speed laser cladding achieves superior coating quality and higher production efficiency for waste incinerator heating surface tubes compared with all other conventional surface treatment technologies.

Frequently Asked Questions
High Speed Laser Cladding Technology is a new metal surface modification surfacing process for waste incineration boiler heating surface, forming metallurgical bonding anti-corrosion alloy coating on tube outer wall to solve high-temperature chlorine-sulfur corrosion and fly ash abrasion failure problems.
Ultra low coating dilution rate, tiny tube thermal deformation, uniform alloy coating composition, lower alloy raw material cost and wider optional alloy powder range, more suitable for harsh flue working conditions of waste incineration boilers.
Custom cladding thickness from 0.5mm to 3.0mm according to boiler flue corrosion severity; thin coating design can greatly save expensive anti-corrosion alloy powder consumption cost.
Mainly used for municipal domestic waste incineration power boilers, industrial hazardous waste incinerators, biomass power plant boilers and high-parameter coal-fired power generation boiler heating surface renovation projects.
High speed laser cladding realizes permanent metallurgical fusion bonding between coating and base tube substrate, no delamination or peeling failure under long-term high-temperature flue particle impact scouring working conditions.
Yes, we support two service modes: single spare cladding tubes and integral laser surfacing membrane wall panel finished assemblies, which can be directly installed on boilers.
Each production batch passes cladding thickness scanning, surface hardness test, MPI microcrack detection and ultrasonic bonding delamination inspection, full set of complete NDT technical reports are provided together with goods.
Nickel-based, cobalt-based and iron-based anti-corrosion alloy powder can be selected; hard ceramic phase powder can be added to further enhance fly ash abrasion resistance performance.
Two service modes are available: brand-new base tube laser cladding manufacturing and remanufacturing repair of old corroded waste boiler tubes, which can save customers a lot of raw material procurement costs.
Standard nickel-based laser alloy coating can operate stably under continuous flue temperature of 650℃; customized cobalt-based special coating can reach maximum working temperature of 680℃.
