In Castolin Trio we have two 6kW high density diode lasers from Laserline Inc.

Lasers are supported by 6 axis and 3 axis CNC automatic welding machines, set-up for both powder and hot wire. CAM software packages are available for offline programming of advanced geometries and additive manufacturing of parts.

We have the ability to laser clad large parts up to 15m length, 12m continuous welding. The laser cladding process is supported by the Castolin Eutectic global R&D team with Ph.D. specialists within laser cladding. As manufacturers of powders, Castolin Eutectic can develop customised laser cladding powder/wire solutions tailored to your needs. In our Stavanger workshop, we also own an in-house lab for quality control of powders and new applications.

• Low heat input causing lowest dilution: at 0.5-5% it is considerably lower than PTA and weld overlay.
• Low distortion: lower heat input means lower distortion of large parts, and less machining time.
• Faster: up to 7 Kg/Hour deposition rate for Tungsten Carbide containing alloys.
• High precision, High repeatability; constant and controlled quality.
• Best wear resistance due to advantages of welding Carbide powder blends with high Carbide content, up to 60-70%.
• The low dilution and fast cooling rate, gives unique microstructures with exceptional properties.
• Cladded thicknesses normally in range of 0.3-10mm depending on alloy. Some alloys offer no limitations.
