Novel High Speed Laser Cladding System

先进激光技术公司正在寻求开发一种新型的高速激光熔覆系统，以将大型容器或金属板熔覆到零孔隙率的标准，以获得最大的耐腐蚀性。现有的包覆方法是耗时且昂贵的。挑战在于减少制造时间，同时确保组件持续更长时间。激光熔覆已经使用了几十年，但它不适合大面积，因为它的典型沉积速率为~1 kg/h，太慢，使该过程经济实惠。显然需要一种高速工艺，可以实现超过15 kg/h的沉积速率，以提供具有零孔隙率的涂层，同时减少环境影响。

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.
