Carbide Cladding
If your project requires a very specific area of wear resistance and increased toughness on all other fronts, cladding may be a good option.

With increased hardness comes increased brittleness, which is a tendency to fracture, and carbide is no exception. If your project requires a very specific area of wear resistance and increased toughness on all other fronts, cladding may be a good option. A carbide cladding offers the wear resistance of tungsten carbide on a particular surface are of a substrate, while allowing for other critical features to be maintained. These can be restrictions on overall weight, size, or design. When looking for a complex wear solution, carbide cladding can be a sustainable solution for your applications.

A cladding is formed into a substrate when a laser creates a weld pool, then adds a binder content and micro grains of carbide pieces. These carbide grains come in a few difference shapes in order to best suit the application of the component. This technology is allowing the hardness of carbide to be utilized in places that carbide wouldn't have been able to be utilized before.
