Repairing Large Critical Components using Laser Cladding

2023-05-08T21:20:31+00:00May 8th, 2023|Laser Cladding|

Were you aware that Synergy has the ability to repair large components? Recently, a flywheel with a diameter of over 1 meter was ground too much (0.015"/0.4mm) during prefinal operation, which was only discovered after nitriding. Scrapping the part would result in a significant financial loss and cause unforeseen delays for the customer. However, there

Repair and Refurbishment of high precision shafts using Laser Cladding

2023-03-27T02:03:34+00:00March 21st, 2023|Laser Cladding|

Shaft laser cladding is a highly effective process for the repair and refurbishment of industrial machinery components such as precision tools, motor shafts, centrifuge components etc.  especially those that have suffered from wear and tear or corrosion. This process uses a high-powered laser beam to melt and fuse a layer of metal powder onto the

Laser Heat Treating on Hem Dies: An Innovative Solution for Automotive Production

2023-03-27T02:01:36+00:00February 12th, 2023|Heat Treat|

  The automotive industry is constantly seeking new and improved methods for producing high-quality vehicles. Hemming is a critical operation in the production process and has a significant impact on the overall quality and performance of a vehicle. Hemming involves bending the edge of a sheet metal over itself, and it is performed on various

Laser Heat Treating of Trim Inserts for Automotive Dies: Improving Performance and Consistency

2023-03-27T02:00:52+00:00February 12th, 2023|Heat Treat, Services|

  In the automotive industry, trim inserts play a crucial role in the production of sheet metal stampings. Trim steels are used to trim the metal sheets after forming operation. To ensure that the trim inserts are strong and durable, they must be heat treated to withstand high shear and fatigue loads. Traditionally, trim inserts

Tool and Die Engineering Changes Using Laser Cladding

2023-01-23T14:56:02+00:00June 21st, 2021|Laser Cladding|

Laser cladding improves the tool life. Laser cladding is an effective tool for the repair and engineering changes on tooling and dies. Compared to conventional welding techniques, laser cladding inputs minimal heat resulting in minimal to no distortion on the dies. The deposited material forms a metalogical bond with the substrate and does not chip

Laser Heat Treating of Hot Stamping Dies

2023-03-27T02:07:22+00:00June 15th, 2021|Heat Treat|

Hot stamping dies are typically hardened throughout, which can create issues during the assembly and testing phase. In order to address any distortions, die makers have traditionally needed to disassemble the entire die, send it for heat treatment, and then recut the die once it has hardened. This process can take weeks and result in

LASER CLADDING ADVANTAGES OVER HARD CHROME FOR DIMENSIONAL RESTORATION

2023-01-23T14:56:42+00:00January 11th, 2021|Laser Cladding, Services|

Hard chrome plating has long been the preferred method for hardfacing and dimensional restoration of machine parts due to its traditionally recognized benefits.
