The future of industrial hardfacing
The ProFocus system from OSCAR-PLT and the STELLOY 21-LD cobalt-based welding wire from Welding Alloys – the perfect complement for laser wire hardfacing.
Both are known for their excellent suitability for high-performance applications and are therefore particularly suitable for demanding industrial applications such as the hardfacing of hot shear blades used in forging.
Video highlights:
Material properties: ProFocus metal 3D printing/wire laser metal deposition (w-LMD) provides a clean surface finish and works well in complex welding positions.
Laser hardfacing: The video describes laser hardfacing, which uses a laser to deposit wire onto surfaces that require higher hardness and durability. This method allows for precise and controlled deposition, resulting in a high-quality, uniform hardfacing layer.
Industrial applications: Industrial hardfacing with metal 3D printing/w-LMD improves the durability and performance of hot shear blades in the forging industry. The improved wear resistance of the armoured blades leads to a longer service life and lower maintenance costs.
This video highlights the benefits of using metal 3D printing/w-LMD for laser armouring and emphasises its superior performance in harsh industrial environments.
