Laser cladding: sustainable, circular and enviromentally friendly

A circular solution: reuse instead of replacement

Instead of replacing worn-out parts, laser cladding allows us to restore and reinforce original components. This means:

Reduced raw material consumption: No unnecessary production of new components.
Less waste: Worn-out parts are refurbished instead of discarded.
Lower CO2 emissions: By minimizing the need for new materials and transportation.

More sustainable than traditional coatings
While conventional coatings like nickel-chrome offer only thin layers with limited durability, laser cladding enables the application of thicker, highly wear-resistant, and corrosion-proof layers. This significantly extends the lifespan of components, even under extreme conditions.

– Superior Protection against wear and corrosion.
– No hazardous substances like chromium-6, making it safer for people and the environment.
– Reduced maintenance and replacement needs, leading to less waste and lower costs.

Real-world example: from worn-out to as good as new

Recently, we successfully restored a severely damaged cylinder rod in collaboration with Magnaparts that had been coated with a conventional layer. Instead of replacing it, we applied a laser-clad protective layer, restoring its functionality and durability. This approach saved raw materials, reduced waste, and significantly extended the component’s lifespan.
