Success Story
Hard chrome replacement for Roof support Cylinder
Conventional solution: Hard chrome plating
- Not permitted by changing health and environmental regulations globally.
- Thin layers with thickness 0.05-0.07mm
- Weak mechanical bonding leads to peeling off
- Appearance of pores and cracks easily decrease the corrosion resistance
- Service life: 1-1.5 year
New solution: laser cladding
- Sustainable technology
- Thicker layers:around 0.6mm
- Strong metallurgical bonding
- Minimise porosity which improve the corrosion resistance
- Service life: 5-8 years
