Deposition welding

Deposition welding is a metalworking process in which additional material is welded onto a surface in order to improve certain properties, carry out repairs or create new structures. This welding process enables the targeted adaptation of workpieces or components to meet specific requirements.

During build-up welding, welding material is applied to the surface to be processed, either by manual welding processes or by using automated welding technologies. This additional material may be of the same material as the base workpiece or may include specially selected alloys for specific applications.

Overlay welding is used in various industries, including mechanical engineering, tool repair, shipbuilding and mining. It enables the restoration of worn or damaged parts, the modification of components for new functions and the improvement of wear resistance and other mechanical properties. Careful application of build-up welding requires specialist knowledge and experience to achieve the desired results in terms of durability and performance.
