About

By adding a layer of suitable materials on a surface by using laser cladding, the life expectancy of those parts can increase by 4-200 times. Especially useful for parts that experience great wear. Numerous examples have been shown over the year. The process is not widely known, but promises excellent results with full atomic bonding and small heat affected zones in the base material.
