Battle against

corrosion

Industrial components have to be protected specifically

well from corrosion. Coatings with diode lasers by

Laserline make sure that the expensive workpieces can

do their job reliably over long periods.

Whether with ambient air, water, chemicals or pollution:
every raw material reacts to its surrounding area. Corro-
sion is the inevitable consequence. Laser coatings
protect from this. With high-precisely applied additional
layers, creep corrosion and crecive corrosion can be
prevented.

For this, stainless steels and nickel-base alloys are applied
to low-alloy steels. When using a Laserline diode laser as
energy source, the dilution of base and clad material is
usually below 5%. Thus, a workpiece can be well protec-
ted even with a single layer of about 1 mm thickness
(classical methods usually need two layers).
