EHLA and High-Speed Laser Cladding for Hydraulic Rods
Extreme High-Speed Laser Application (EHLA) offers several advantages over traditional hard chrome plating for hydraulic rods. One of the key benefits is the superior wear and corrosion resistance provided by EHLA. This process creates a metallurgical bond with the substrate, eliminating the risk of chipping or delamination, a common issue with hard chrome plating.
Eliminate the use of Chrome VI
Additionally, EHLA introduces minimal heat into the part, resulting in no distortion, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of hydraulic rods. Another significant advantage is the environmental aspect. Hard chrome plating involves the use of harmful chemicals, whereas EHLA is a more environmentally friendly process.
Cost Effective alternative
EHLA is also recognized for its quick turnaround time compared to hard chrome plating. The process is substantially faster, which can be beneficial for industries requiring rapid refurbishment of hydraulic rods. Furthermore, EHLA can be applied at high speeds, making it a cost-effective solution for large-scale applications.
Moreover, EHLA does not require pre-machining and limited post-machining in most cases, further reducing the overall processing time and costs. The enhanced durability and protection against wear and corrosion make EHLA an ideal choice for hydraulic rods, especially in harsh environments.
EHLA for offshore applications
EHLA for offshore hydraulic cylinder rods offers superior corrosion resistance in saltwater operations, as well as optimized wear, scratch, and impact resistance. EHLA is an effective solution in providing a robust and long-lasting solution for marine hydraulic components and significantly extends their service life.
