Nowadays, laser technologies are actively used to restore mechanisms. IRS Laser Tech also did not stand aside. Over time, metal parts of machines and various mechanisms operating in a corrosive or highly abrasive environment wear out and corrode. Laser technology is designed to extend the life of these components. The official website of the company www.irslasertech.ru provides a full range of measures to restore metal elements.
One of the ways is laser cladding. Its advantage over similar heating sources is obvious: the deposited metal practically does not mix with the base metal, residual deformations are at a low level, high productivity, lower heat input, the possibility of local processing of the material. This is provided by highly concentrated laser radiation, which is capable of generating new generation laser sources.
High productivity is ensured by precise dosage of energy and fast heating and instant cooling of the weld metal.
Application of laser cladding by IRS Laser Tech
IRS Laser Tech is a company specializing in the development of proprietary laser cladding methods and their widespread use. The method is unique in that the surface layer becomes practically invisible on the base alloy, forming a single whole with it. In the process of heating the parts to the melting temperature of the metal, molten material is applied from above, which increases the strength. To achieve greater wear resistance in production, hard alloys are used in the form of powder surfacing, the most common is tungsten carbide. Other similar materials apply as well.
In modern industry, laser cladding is very popular and is often used to impart additional properties to the surface of parts, such as wear resistance, heat resistance, and anti-corrosion properties.
In addition to restoring metal properties, laser cladding technology is used for the manufacture of new components and laser hardening of materials.
