Novel High Speed Laser Cladding System

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Advanced Laser Technology is seeking to develop a novel high speed laser cladding system toclad large vessels or metal plates to a standard of zero porosity for maximum resistance tocorrosion. Existing cladding methods are time consuming and expensive. The challenge is todecrease manufacturing time while ensuring the component lasts significantly longer. Lasercladding has been used for several decades, however it is unsuitable for large areas as itstypical deposition rate of ~1 kg/h is too slow to make the process economically advantageousThere is a clear requirement for a high-speed process which can achieve deposition rates inexcess of 15 kg/h, to provide a coating with zero porosity with reduced environmentalimpacts.
