One-stop laser cladding remanufacturing solution with automatic CNC equipment, custom alloy powder formula to extend service life of abrasion-prone industrial metal workpieces.
We deliver complete one-stop total laser cladding technical solutions for industrial clients, covering two core technical routes: conventional laser cladding and self-developed ultra-high speed EHLA laser cladding technology. Laser cladding uses high-energy laser beams to simultaneously melt alloy powder and workpiece substrate; after rapid solidification, a dense metallurgically bonded functional coating forms on part surfaces to boost wear, corrosion and high-temperature oxidation resistance.
Laser additive remanufacturing is a derivative application built on laser cladding, which restores dimensional accuracy and mechanical performance for worn, damaged or mis-machined industrial components. Our technology is widely deployed across petrochemical, metallurgy, power plant, aerospace, rail transit, engineering machinery and mold manufacturing sectors.
Equipped with full automatic fixed laser cladding workstations and mobile robot on-site repair systems, we support both factory batch processing and disassembly-free on-site overhaul for oversized heavy equipment, matching laser strengthening processing for our full series boiler half round tube shields and wear-resistant pipeline fittings.
We independently research full laser thermal processing hardware & control software, owning over 200 patents for laser additive manufacturing, with two exclusive core control systems as technical barriers:
Real-time optical & thermal sensor monitoring of laser spot, molten pool shape and temperature gradient, dynamically adjust laser power and powder feed rate. Accurately lock molten pool tolerance within ±0.25mm and cladding thickness deviation at ±0.10mm, ensuring uniform coating thickness on curved boiler shields and rollers.
Optimize laser scanning path and heat input distribution to minimize internal thermal stress of finished parts, drastically improve coating fatigue resistance, avoid post-processing deformation and micro-cracking risks on thin-wall stainless tube shields.
