Cladding & Coating

There are many different ways of surface treatment to protect against corrosion and wear, but diode lasers provide an increasingly popular solution.


Better Quality with Diode Lasers

The range of possible applications is vast, and the technology has been proven to enable innovation.

The simple advantage of diode lasers compared with conventional technologies is: Better quality.

Repair Welding with Diode Lasers

Traditional processes in cladding and coating often lead to high heat input causing component distortion, development of coarse grain structure and poor adhesion to the base material.

The diode laser, however, allows for low heat input and consistently high quality.


Economically Advantageous Diode Lasers

Diode lasers offer advantages to conventional lasers both in the technological and the economical realm: Their cost effectiveness and their robustness. Therefore, complex coating applications can be reduced to this equation: quality + profitability = diode laser
