Whertec LaserClad

Whertec LaserClad offers strong, reliable, precise metallurgical cladding to protect industrial equipment.  The process offers a significant advantage over conventional weld metal overlay because it creates a true metallurgical bond between virtually unlimited metal types.  This means unprecedented reliability by eliminating the problems associated with weld overlays. LaserClad by Whertec utilizes metal powder alloys which will enhance, repair, or form materials with a wide range of applications.

Why LaserClad?

• Cost savings versus other coating and weld overlay solutions
  
• Improve corrosion resistance by practically eliminating (down to 1-3 percent) Fe (iron) migration to the finished surface. Weld overlay typically means 7-10 percent dilution.
  
• Eliminates distortion and shrinkage of the material clad
  
• Versatility.  Customized powder selection means the right materials are applied.
  
• Thinner coatings. This allows for optimal heat transfer while still providing for maximum corrosion and erosion protection.
