#laser cladding

In today’s fast-evolving industrial landscape, surface engineering technologies have become more crucial than ever. At the forefront of this innovation is WWG Engineering, offering cutting edge Laser Cladding and Laser Hardening solutions designed to meet the complex needs of various industries.

With decades of experience in Surface Engineering and Mechanical Workshop services, WWG Engineering has consistently positioned itself as an Integrated Engineering Solutions Provider. Their recent investments in Ultra-High-Speed Laser Application (UHLA™) technology have further cemented their reputation as a leader in the field, especially in Laser Cladding and Laser Hardening services.

The Rise of Laser Cladding: Why It Matters

The demand for Laser Cladding is surging, thanks to its remarkable ability to improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance of metal surfaces. Unlike traditional thermal spray coatings that rely on mechanical bonding, Laser Cladding offers metallurgical bonding. This means the deposited material is fused directly onto the substrate, minimizing heat affected zones and preventing material distortion.

WWG Engineering has embraced this technology wholeheartedly, offering a game-changing solution for industries such as aerospace, offshore oil & gas, marine, chemical processing, nuclear energy, and automotive manufacturing. Their laser systems can handle parts up to diameter 1,600 mm and length 12,000 mm, making WWG’s facility one of the largest capacities in Southeast Asia for high-speed laser cladding.

Advantages of WWG’s Laser Cladding

Low Dilution Rate: Ensures strong metallurgical bonds.

Minimal Heat Input: Reduces the risk of thermal distortion.

Enhanced Material Properties: Greatly improves surface hardness, corrosion resistance, and wear life.

Precision Deposition: Ideal for intricate and large-scale components.

Cost Efficiency: Lowers production costs while maintaining high-quality results.

By integrating high-power lasers (starting at 6 KW), WWG sets itself apart from competitors who typically use lower power (1–3 KW) systems. This allows for faster deposition rates and the ability to work on larger, more complex parts.

Laser Hardening: Another Powerful Offering

While Laser Cladding focuses on material deposition, Laser Hardening enhances the surface strength of metals without adding any material. Using a focused laser beam, WWG Engineering is able to rapidly heat the surface layer of a component, achieving high hardness levels with minimal distortion.

This process is invaluable for extending the life of critical machine components such as gears, shafts, and bearing surfaces. By offering Laser Hardening, WWG Engineering adds another layer of value for clients looking for durable, high-performance parts without extensive downtime or post-processing.

Ultra-High-Speed Laser Application (UHLA™): A Game Changer

One of the most exciting developments at WWG Engineering is the creation of their Ultra-High-Speed Laser Application (UHLA™). This innovative process achieves low-temperature, high-speed laser cladding, dramatically improving operational efficiency and surface quality.

Traditionally, laser cladding has been associated with high operational costs, limiting its accessibility. But with UHLA™, WWG Engineering has revolutionized the game by making the process more affordable and accessible to a broader range of industries.

UHLA™ is based on the EHLA (Extreme High-Speed Laser Application) concept, originally developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT in Aachen, Germany. With UHLA™, WWG can achieve ultra-fine, defect-free cladding layers at significantly reduced costs, a perfect blend of science and industry expertise.
