Products Description

Laser cladding head of Guosheng is an indispensable component for laser cladding operation, it is used for CNC automatic metal cladding, 3D printing, mold repair, coating and quenching, it is mainly composed of link components, optical components and powder feeding components. The laser equipment is linked to the powder feeder through the cladding head, and the coating is rapidly scanned by the high-energy laser beam. The preset powder is not melted and solidified in a moment. While the base metal melts into a thin layer, the interface between the two rapidly produces molecular or atomic-level cross-diffusion in a very narrow area and forms a solid metallurgical bonding layer. Thus significantly improving various properties of the base, such as hardness, bran and corrosion resistance.

The construction functions of the product include:

Connecting component: used for connecting laser fiber and cladding head;

Collimation component: used to adjust the collimation of fiber laser, adjust the incident laser into a parallel beam, and adjust the incident angle of the beam so that the spot is at the midpoint;

Focusing component: focus the parallel beam into one point to improve the power and beam density. Adjust the up and down position of the focus;

Protective window components: built-in protective lenses to prevent dust from entering the optical system;

Powder feeding component: it is used to transport powder and adjust the powder feeding focus. There are four powder paths in total, and the powder feeding is uniform and controllable.

Applications

Laser cladding head can be used in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing. Some of the common applications of laser cladding include:

1. Repair components that have been worn or damaged due to normal wear and tear or accidental damage.

2. Modify the surface of a component, such as to improve wear resistance or corrosion resistance.

3. Additive manufacturing of new components with complex shapes and high-performance materials, create complex parts with intricate geometries.

4. Coating: add a layer of material onto a component to improve its properties, such as to add wear resistance or thermal insulation.

Technical Advantages

The advantages of using a laser cladding head in the manufacturing process including:

1. High precision and accuracy: achieve high precision and accuracy in the deposition of the metallic powder onto the substrate. This precision is due to the high control of the laser beam's intensity and position, resulting in a high-quality deposition of the material.

2. High speed: deposit metallic powders at high speeds, resulting in reduced production times compared to traditional manufacturing processes.

3. Reduced material waste: has the ability to selectively deposit the metallic powder only where it is required, resulting in reduced material waste and improved efficiency.

4. Improved surface properties: deposit metallic powders with improved surface properties, such as increased hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance, resulting in longer-lasting and more durable components.

5. Versatility: it can be used to deposit a wide range of metallic powders onto various substrates, making it a versatile technology for manufacturing complex parts with specific material properties.
