Laser cladding services are now fully operational at this facility with the ability to offer O.D. and I.D. coatings, as well as laser hardening, pre- and post-machining and inspection services
Rails repairs must be performed in remote areas, rather than in the controlled environment of a factory. (Image: Denis Belitsky/Shutterstock)
The technology could increase the service life of rails and reduce maintenance time and costs
The laser technology will be used to produce tubular products for the oil and gas industry. (Image: Shutterstock/bht2000)
Laser welding, cladding and hardening will be used in the manufacture and repair of pipe manufacturing parts, tools and accessories
In addition to the entire spectrum of different additive manufacturing processes, Formnext presents an overview of all upstream and downstream processes
Laser Mech’s new FiberWELD DH is a high-power, laser wire, direct deposition head for processing macro-scale industrial and aerospace components

Components repaired using the new processes were found to be free from distortion and exhibited excellent performance
For the eleventh time in a row, Laser Symposium 2021 brings together world's leading laser experts, end-users and newcomers from both industry and academia. With a focus on latest laser developments and their suitability for industrial applications, it offers an ideal platform for scientific and technical exchange on various aspects of laser materials processing.
The combination of wire and powder tested at the Fraunhofer IPT resulted in hardness increases of the material of up to 30 per cent. (Image: Fraunhofer IPT)
The new method is significantly more cost-effective than powder processes while offering greater material flexibility than wire processes
This is a Class 1 laser safety enclosure which is tested and certified to the internationally recognised laser safety standards
