Apollo-Clad Laser Cladding7609 – 39 Street, Leduc, Alberta, Alberta, Canada

Laser cladding offers repair alternatives to high performance components that physically cannot be achieved by higher heat input arc welding processes like Gas Metal Arc Welding. Laser cladding is weld overlay using a high-powered laser as the heat source. This state-of-the-art coating technology process melts metals and applies high performance material coatings where performance and integrity is critical. As opposed to arc welded coatings, laser cladding works by focusing a laser beam to a high degree. This concentrated heating means less heat needs to be applied to create the same joining effect. The result is a fully metallurgically bonded coating with minimal mixing of the coating and base materials, limited distortion, and minimal impact on the substrate properties.
