Trident Laser uses state of the art Laser Technology for building wear and corrosion resistant layers on metallic parts.
Laser Metal Deposition is a process by which a high-power laser beam is used as the source of energy. The deposit material in the form of metal powder is fed into the melt pool using special nozzles either coaxially with the laser beam or laterally. The melt pool upon solidification, produces metallic overlays with strong metallurgical bonding and minimal dilution of the coating material into base material.
Due to localized heating and faster cooling rates, Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) or Laser Cladding produces superior wear and corrosion resistant coatings. LMD enables formation of finer dendritic microstructure, which results in superior hardness and corrosion resistance.
LMD is being increasingly accepted in the industry globally in comparison to PTA, MIG/TIG, and HVOF processes due to the following advantages:
