SA cladding

SA cladding, also known as arc cladding or plasma cladding, is a process used in the metalworking industry. It belongs to the group of thermal spray techniques and is used when surfaces need to be specifically modified or repaired. A welding powder or wire is produced in an electric arc and applied to the workpiece.

The process of submerged arc cladding is characterized by its versatility. It enables the deposition of various materials, including metals, alloys and hard metals. These can be applied specifically where an improvement in wear resistance, corrosion resistance or other material properties is required.

The advantages of submerged arc cladding lie in the precise controllability of the process and the ability to process only localized areas without affecting the entire workpiece. This helps to use materials efficiently and reduce costs. In addition, the high application rate enables repair or improvement work to be carried out quickly.

In industry, submerged arc cladding is used in various applications, including the repair of tools, the coating of wear parts or the production of prototypes. The precision and versatility of this process make it an important technology in modern production engineering.
