Laser cladding process utilizes a laser source to create a melt pool of the base material and cladding material is introduced into this melt pool in powder form. The energy of the laser melts the cladding material also to form alloying zone between base material and clad material resulting to a metallurgical bonding with good control on required dilution rates.

Laser hardening process is environmental friendly process which will produce very effective hardening layer compare to conventional hardening processes.
