Short answer: Laser cladding fuses a powder or wire feed into a thin, metallurgically bonded, low-dilution layer on a metal surface using a focused laser, building up hardfacing, corrosion-resistant or repair deposits with minimal heat and distortion. Unlike thermal spray or electroplating, the clad is fully fused to the substrate, so it survives wear, impact and machining — ideal for rebuilding worn shafts, valve seats and tooling and for surfacing lower-cost base metals with expensive alloys.
