1. What is laser cladding technology?

Traditional processing technology generally involves subtracting materials from the material matrix through turning, milling, drilling, and grinding, and processing material blocks or blanks into final composite size components through advanced machine tools. Laser cladding, on the other hand, involves adding materials to the material matrix through a high-energy laser beam and synchronously adding powder or wire, which is also a technology of additive manufacturing.

It has advantages such as higher accuracy, higher efficiency, and lower losses compared to traditional technologies, making it widely used in multiple fields.

In addition to its widespread application in production and manufacturing, laser cladding technology is also an important research direction in the industrial and scientific research fields, because this technology can not only improve production efficiency and processing accuracy, but also greatly save the consumption of precious metals and high-value materials, saving a lot of material and processing costs for the industry.

2. Application in remanufacturing industry:

Remanufacturing refers to the process of transforming previously scrapped components into usable new products after processing or repair.

And laser cladding technology can play a very important role in this process, because we can use the high energy and density of the laser beam to quickly and accurately operate, and the process has very little loss of raw materials.

For example, steel mills can restore the size of a large number of rolls, transmission rolls, and bearings that are scrapped due to wear and tear each year through laser cladding technology. The surface materials of the restored parts are mostly special alloy materials, and their wear, corrosion, and high temperature resistance even exceed the surface properties and service life of the original parts. This avoids the scrapping of a large number of parts that have expired their original lifespan and not only saves raw materials, It also reduces the energy and resource consumption of new product production.

As a result, laser cladding technology has a very broad application space, not only in aviation, aerospace, mining, steel, engineering, power, petrochemical and other fields, but also in the automotive, mold, shipbuilding, and heavy industry industries.

Moreover, the application of remanufacturing can not only increase the added value of products, but the emergence of laser cladding technology has a positive and far-reaching significance for extending the lifespan and service cycle of components in terms of reuse, and has played a huge role in this process.

3. Development prospects in the remanufacturing industry:

As a new technology, its biggest advantage is efficiency, precision, energy conservation, and creating new value.

It can convert scrapped parts into new products, not only saving resources but also reducing environmental pollution.

At the same time, laser cladding technology also remanufactures complex parts through precise scanning methods, providing a broader development space for the remanufacturing industry.

Therefore, the application prospects of laser cladding technology in the remanufacturing industry are undoubtedly very broad, and it will become a popular, more widely used, and more valued and well-known technology in the future.
