Laser Cladding Piston Rods

Laser Cladding Piston Rods

Laser cladding coating is a technique that uses metal alloy powder and a laser to create a protective layer on the surface of piston rods. It’s an alternative to traditional hard chrome plating. Laser cladding is used to extend the life of piston rods and reduce maintenance costs.

Benefits of Laser Cladding

Durability: Laser cladding is more durable than traditional coatings, it offers tailored coatings and provides increased ductility and impact resistance, reducing the risk of cracking or peeling under high stress conditions.

Corrosion resistance: Laser cladding can protect against corrosion, offering superior protection and longevity for hydraulic cylinder when piston rods frequent exposure to harsh environments, such as saltwater, abrasive materials, or high mechanical stress.

Flexibility: Suitable for large diameter and super long piston rods, up to 20 meters long. Laser cladding can be repaired using a conventional fusion welding process on site, saving time and money.
