Laser cladding for the steel industry

Steel industry equipment and challenges

Steel manufacturing equipment like rollers, drums, and mandrels is constantly exposed to extreme heat, mechanical stress, and friction. These conditions lead to accelerated wear, thermal shock, and potential failure of key components, which can result in costly shutdowns. Topclad’s Tardisphere and Quarite XT layers are engineered to withstand the
high temperatures and abrasive environments typical in the steel industry. Our laser cladding solutions protect vital equipment, ensuring longer service life and optimal performance in even the harshest conditions.
