LaserForge™ cladding:
• Has a high resistance against fatigue cracking, preventing critical components from costly failures
• Provides >80% reduction in usage of advanced alloys due to the lack of intermixing and dilution
• Savings in a part manufacturing of >30% on post-deposition heat-treatment and machining operations
• Allows for metal coatings of extremely dissimilar materials, un-weldable with conventional laser, EB and arc- welding metal coating processes
LASER BASED METAL ENHANCEMENT OF METAL PARTS
H&R Technology Inc. (HRT) is the developer and owner of the innovative and patented Precision Metal Deposition (PMD™) & LaserForge™ processes. The PMD™ process is a core technology employed for the production of laser-based automated PMD™ Digital Manufacturing systems, used for material enhancement & restoration of metal parts. HRT has recently developed a new capability for a solid-state coating of highly dissimilar metals - LaserForge™, utilizing its PMD™ laser metal deposition technology. LaserForge™ is a revolutionary laser-based material enhancement technology allowing extremely strong-bond cladding with advanced metals and without melting the substrate (solid-state welding).
LaserForge™ prevents costly failures of critical metal parts subjected to high loads and harsh environmental conditions.
