CermaClad is a high-speed metal cladding process that uses a high-energy infrared fusion source to metallurgically bond protective alloys like alloy 625 and 316L stainless steel to pipe interiors and steel plates at application rates 10-100 times faster than laser cladding. The engineered structure of the cladding material controls wetting and viscosity to enable a smooth, uniform coating. Due to the scalable application rate and input control, a variety of alloys can be applied in thicknesses from 0.1mm to 3mm per pass, providing benefits like corrosion and wear resistance for the oil and gas industry.
