Faced with the severe wear and corrosion of mining machinery components, laser cladding technology has emerged as a key solution for enhancing equipment lifespan and operational reliability. This technology allows for the creation of high-performance alloy surface layers on low-cost metal substrates without compromising the base material’s properties. It significantly reduces maintenance costs and conserves rare metal resources.

Compared to traditional processes such as hardfacing and spraying, laser cladding offers notable advantages in coating quality, bond strength, and material adaptability. It is particularly effective for repairing and reinforcing high-value components like cutter picks, hydraulic support columns, scraper conveyor parts, and gearboxes. For example, by applying laser cladding to the end cones of cutter picks and areas prone to wear on scraper blades, a high toughness reinforced layer can be formed, greatly enhancing component service life.
