TopClad® high speed laser cladding Netherlands

TopClad® laser cladding Netherlands | lasercladding Belgium is a unique laser surface treatment with a proven track record in heavy duty applications for demanding industries. By means of focused low-energy input, provided by laser technology, a selection of inter-metallic bonds of materials is melted to the substrate.

Depending on the choice of the inter-metallic bonds, highly dedicated surface improvements can be achieved, for example highly anti-corrosive and wear-resistant surfaces. Due to thorough laboratory and field testing, TopClad® is available for a wide range of heavy duty performances.

 

Benefits of laser cladding:

√ No subcorrosion or delamination

√ Reduction of cost of ownership

√ Repairable

√ Capacity for XXL components

√ Sustainable process

√ No chemicals involved
