The economical alternative
Laser Cladding instead of HVOF
up to 50% cost advantage!
Laser Cladding: the economical alternative to thermal spraying / HVOF
HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) is a thermal spray process that has proven itself in the production of high-quality functional coatings. However, it is associated with high costs, which is why alternative processes are increasingly being used. Laser cladding is a superior alternative because it offers decisive advantages.
Advantages of laser cladding compared to HVOF
Laser cladding offers unbeatable advantages over thermal spray processes, especially HVOF:
These advantages mean that coatings produced using laser cladding are up to 50% cheaper than comparable coatings produced using HVOF.
Other laser cladding/laser cladding/DED applications
Coating
- Substitution hard chromium plating
- Substitution thermal spray
- Substitution conventional laser deposition
- So far uncoated components
Additives Manufacturing
- Highly flexible production of geometric elements on semi-finished products, e.g. sealing lips or flanges (hybrid additive production)
- Functional integration
- In-situ combination processes (e.g. turning & AM)
Repair
- Repair of components that could not be repaired up to now due to the high heat input
- Mobile repair systems for conventional machine tools
