WHY LASERCARB
Numerous industries use tools that require high resistance to abrasion and erosion. The LaserCarb process is a hard surfacing process that adds an anti-abrasion material to wear parts. The LaserCarb process resolves numerous problems caused by welding. LaserCarb uses powders based on cast Spherical Tungsten Carbide produced by Technogenia.
PRINCIPLE
The process consists of using the energy of a Laser beam to melt the deposition powder (Ni-Cr or other material) on the part.
A weld occurs between the deposit and the base metal.
BENEFITS
The hardness and toughness of Spherotene® (cast tungsten carbide spheres produced by Technogenia) united with the unique properties of a high energy laser produces a weld deposit. The cast spheres exhibit hardness of 3000 ± 500 HV, and they pack close together to produce a dense deposit. The spherical shape also increase toughness in the carbide grain and the overall deposit.
- Use of powders based on cast spherical Tungsten Carbide Spherotene®
- High hardness: 3000 HV ± 500
- Spherotene® is not affected by LaserCarb®
- Low heat affected zone (0.060")
- Almost total absence of porosity
- Limited cracking and deformation
- Large range of thickness deposit
- Metallurgical bond
- Precision, Automation, Reproducibility
LASERCARB BENEFITS
- CNC, 5-Axis automated laser for precise deposit
- Extremely high deposit efficiency
- High hardness factor 3000 HV, low heat affected zone (.060”)
- Virtually no porosity, minimal to no deformation
- High range of thickness deposit
- Numerous combinations of powders, application-specific
- Superior metallurgical bond
- Applied to Carbon steel, Stainless steel, Non-mag stainless steel
- Can be applied to virtually any profile
THE LASERCARB PROCESS
Utilizing a high energy laser with the unique properties of Spherotene® cast tungsten, a superior weld deposit (hard facing) is applied to components to guard against abrasion, corrosion and erosion.The spherical shape of the tungsten carbide when combined with the application specific deposition powder provides an extremely high hardness of 3000 HV + 500.
