Laser Cladding Services
Laser cladding is the future of industrial component repair — and VTS Motors brings that future to you. We use high-precision laser deposition to restore worn or damaged shafts, spindles, rollers, and other critical parts. This process not only repairs wear and erosion but also enhances durability, surface hardness, and corrosion resistance — without distortion or overheating.
What Is Laser Cladding?
Laser cladding is an advanced metal deposition process where a focused laser melts a filler material onto the surface of a component. It creates a metallurgically bonded overlay that is stronger, more precise, and more wear-resistant than traditional welding, hardfacing, or thermal spray methods.
Advantages Over Conventional Repair:
- Minimal heat-affected zone (HAZ)
- Superior bonding and metallurgical fusion
- High-precision layer thickness control
- Better wear, corrosion, and fatigue resistance
- No distortion of base material geometry
Applications of Laser Cladding
- Spindle and shaft journal restoration
- Bearing seat repair
- Rotor and pump shaft reconditioning
- Worn surface buildup on tooling and dies
- Corrosion-resistant overlays for chemical processing equipment
- Wear-resistant coatings on high-load contact surfaces
