Fraunhofer ILT: Laser cladding for flat coatings
Laser metal deposition is the focus of the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT's stand at SurfaceTechnology Germany 2024, where it can be used to produce flat coatings, for example for wear and corrosion protection, or functional coatings.
With laser metal deposition, metal traces can be applied to almost any base material with high precision and in the shortest possible time. By superimposing the weld marks, flat coatings, for example for wear and corrosion protection, or functional layers can be produced. By applying several layers on top of each other, the process can also be used for repairs, geometric adjustments or even additive manufacturing of entire components.
With a wide range of available system technology, analysis capacity and many years of development expertise for various user industries, Fraunhofer ILT offers comprehensive support from brainstorming and consulting to the development of adapted processes and system technology and process transfer to customer systems. The Fraunhofer ILT stand at SurfaceTechnology Germany 2024 is located in Hall 1, Stand H16.
