Global Laser Cladding Service Market Definition

Laser cladding uses laser energy as a heat source to melt and weld a material that has different and beneficial metallurgical properties onto a component with the lowest chemical dilution possible for a welding process. This allows one to cost-effectively customize the surface properties of the less expensive substrate to provide greater resistance to corrosion, oxidation, wear and high-temperature fatigue strength. The direct diode laser cladding system has the ability to weld a very thin and smooth single pass layer of metal onto another metal substrate at high deposition rates, with little or no dilution.

This welding process makes use of customized diode lasers to create the thinnest and purest weld overlay achievable. No other welding process comes close to the quality that diode laser cladding offers. This process permits the modification of the surface metal chemistry of functional parts without a significant amount of weld distortion or heat-affected zone. The surface modification benefits are for corrosion, erosion or both.

Due to its superior focusing ability, lasers allow power densities that are not typically possible with conventional thermal procedures. This enables us to process components with minimal thermal loading and distortion. Laser cladding is particularly suitable for applications demanding a high dimensional accuracy. Additional applications include materials that are difficult to weld using conventional methods, such as high temperature-resistant nickel-based alloys in gas turbines or tungsten-carbide-filled wear-protection coatings. Typical components include turbine blades, drilling equipment, and pump components.

Global Laser Cladding Service Market Overview

The adoption of modern and efficient material hard facing and coating technologies will be one of the major factors that will have a positive impact on the growth of the global laser cladding service market in the coming years. The adoption of the laser cladding process is high in end-user industries such as oil and gas, mining, automotive, aerospace, and agriculture due to its advantages, including lower design flaws and high production efficiency and is extensively used in surface treatment and hard facing applications.

The growth of laser cladding services mainly depends upon the building and construction, automotive and heavy industries. The rising demand for such services from the end-user is significantly driving the market. In order to manufacture and provide finishing to the various parts of the vehicle body parts, laser cladding technology has widely been adopted. With the growing demand for light-weighted car components to reduce environmental degradation and improve workability, there has been technological advancement in laser cladding technology.

The adoption of laser cladding is rapidly replacing conventional technologies such as high-velocity oxy-fuel (HVOF), hexavalent hard chrome plating, oven sintering, metal inert gas welding (MIG), and thermal spray since these conventional technologies have lower metal cladding efficiency and are relatively time-consuming. This will subsequently drive the need for modern technology equipment such as laser cladding equipment, fuelling the growth of this market.

The development of automatic laser cladding equipment will be one of the key trends that will gain traction in the laser cladding service market. The demand for highly-skilled machine operators and optimal cladding results is increasing since equipment operators manually input operation guidelines, including filler material feed rate, substrate processing speed, power output, and laser focus.

The adoption of the laser cladding market is growing at a rapid pace owing to its technological benefits and multi-tasking capabilities in various applications. However, owing to the need for the high initial investments and vast venture capital funds that are required to set up the architecture and infrastructure framework. This leads to acts as a restricting factor for the growth of the market. The need for enormous resources in order to set up the process and perform the operation, which is much more complicated and expensive aids to hinders the market growth.
