Specialist LAWI wires for precise surface regeneration, repair and reinforcement of industrial metal components using laser cladding technology.
Specialist wires for laser cladding used in precision regeneration, rebuilding and reinforcement of industrial working surfaces. These wires are used for the repair of machine components, shafts, rollers, tooling, moulds, dies and parts exposed to wear, corrosion, high temperatures and heavy mechanical loads. Precise material deposition allows damaged surfaces to be rebuilt with limited heat impact on the base material while maintaining a high-quality deposited layer.
One of the recognized manufacturers of laser cladding materials is the German company Lawitex, offering the specialist LAWI wire range. These products are designed for precision metalworking and demanding industrial applications.
