LASER CLADDING ADVANTAGES PUMP APPLICATIONS
Laser cladding, also known as laser metal deposition (LMD), Twin Rotary Screw Pump
uses metal alloy powders to enhance the surfaces of metal
components. These enhancements are usually focused on Hardfacing Flights
extending component life by minimizing erosion/corrosion
of the base material. • PROBLEM:
The top of the flight of a screw
Advantages of LMD over more traditional additive is exposed to metal-to-metal
processes include: rubbing contact with the casing
or adjacent shaft screw, causing
• Lower powder costs wear. Therefore, the integrity of
due to thinner coatings hardfacing alloy to the base of
• Improved metallurgy the flight is very
with higher material hardness important.
• Less stress
• SOLUTION:
due to lower heat input
Laser hardfacing is welded
• Shorter process time to form a “metallurgical

Laser cladding to repair shaft and
Casing/Impeller Wear shaft components with a cost-effective
Laser cladding can repair wear to pump casings and impellers caused by:
• Minor abrasive wear from pumping light slurries
Centrifugal Pump and environmentally friendly solution.

• Heavy casing wear and erosion from pumping solids and/or cavitation
• Chemical attack
• Wear to specific areas of the casing or impeller
• PROBLEM:
Shaft Wear Corrosion inside the pump caused by
the fluid properties.
Laser cladding restores worn shafts caused by:
• Packing and oil seals – typically the result of constant pressure and • SOLUTION:
abrasion against the shaft surface By coating with a corrosion-resistant
• Neglect and improper lubrication – causes the packing to heat up alloy, the component can be manufac-
