Laser coating

Laser coating is a surface technology process in which a laser beam is directed at the material to be coated in order to create a high-precision coating. This process enables the targeted processing of surfaces on a microscopic level and is used in various industries.

During the coating process, the laser beam is focused on the substrate, resulting in an intense energy impact on the surface. The coating material, often in the form of powder or wire, is fed in at the same time and melted by the laser beam. The molten particles are precisely applied to the substrate, resulting in an even and adhesive coating.

This high-precision coating process offers various advantages. It allows the thickness of the coating to be adjusted, even on complex surfaces. In addition, laser coating can be performed on a wide range of materials, including metals, ceramics and polymers. The resulting coating often has a high density and low porosity, which can lead to improved material properties.

Laser coating is used in a variety of applications, from the manufacture of precision aerospace components to improving the wear resistance of industrial tools. The precise control options and the ability to use different materials make this method a powerful technology in surface coating.
