Laser spraying

Laser spraying is an innovative process that is used in various industrial applications for coating surfaces. In this process, a high-energy laser beam is used to spray material from a powder source onto the surface to be coated. This enables the creation of high quality coatings with precise control over the amount and thickness applied.

A key advantage of laser spraying is its ability to efficiently coat even complex geometries. The laser beam melts the powder material, which is then applied to the surface as a fine spray mist. This method means that even hard-to-reach or irregularly shaped parts can be provided with a uniform coating.

The precision of laser spraying also enables the application of very thin layers, which is an advantage in many industries. These thin layers can provide improved hardness, wear resistance or specific functional properties without adding unnecessary material. The process is also suitable for coating temperature-sensitive materials, as the laser beam is very localized and minimizes heat transfer to the object being coated. This prevents thermal damage to sensitive substrates.

Laser spraying has established itself as an effective method of surface coating in various industries, including aerospace, medical technology and the automotive industry. The continuous development of this technology promises even wider applicability and improved performance in the future.
