JTVB0016 - Joining Technologies Video Blog - Capabilities Overview

JOINING TECHNOLOGIES is recognized as an innovator in laser welding and cladding applications, delivering absolute reliability through innovation and team.

Joining Technologies uses laser cladding of metal powder alloys to enhance, repair or free-form material for applications in aerospace, power-generation, valve and O.E.M.-supplied components. The L.A.P.® process can offer positional accuracy while maintaining material quality and metallurgical bonding.

The unprecedented precision and reliability of our laser cladding processes is now available to private industry for the first time. As the exclusive provider of L.A.P.® (Laser Applied Powder) surface restoration technology, were able to create true metallurgical bonds between virtually unlimited metal types. Precisely focused lasers enable us to create an extraordinarily small heat affected zone and dilution zone for superior strength, hardness and performance. Additionally, we offer our customers the (L.A.W.®) OR Laser Applied Wire process for metal surface restoration of critical aero-engine components using wire as the clad material.

The L.A.P.® process is used to laser clad metal powder alloys when enhancing or repairing parts. Using a laser to create a melt-pool on the workpiece, powdered metal is fed through a nozzle into the weld puddle, creating a clad layer. Unlike H.V.O.F., the L.A.P.® process achieves a full metallurgical bond by fully melting the surface of the substrate while applying powder. The precisely targeted heat of the laser allows for lower penetrations of the parent material, resulting in a smaller Heat Affected Zone and a lower dilution rate. This translates to an enhanced grain structure and lower minimum clad thickness required to achieve desired hardness, as compared to PTA applied clads. Parametric accuracy of the system allows for clad layers as thin as four-thousandths of an inch, with maximum clad thicknesses ranging over 3 inches.

JOINING TECHNOLOGIES is most often called upon when the challenge is significant, and the risk is high.
