LaserCarb®:
A process developed by Technogenia

LaserCarb® process implements Technolase ® powders based on spherical cast tungsten carbide Powder (Spherotene®) and a high power laser

source. The hardness and toughness of Spherotene®, combined with a high energy laser produce a metallurgical bond with the base material.The cast spheres closely packed together produce a dense deposit. The

Spherotene® powder
3000 HV +/- 500

High power laser

spherical shape also increases toughness of the deposit.
BENEFITS
Very high hardness (3000 HV +/- 500 – Knoop indentation under 1Kg (2.2 lb load)).
Absence of porosity
Limited cracking and distortion.
Large deposit thickness (0.020” to 0.125”).
Possibility to apply several layers
Precision, automation, reproducibility.
