Application Usage

Cutting tools, hydraulic rods, and middle troughs are used as vital transport and bearing structures in scraper conveyors. They undertake large-scale conveying tasks for coal and ore. Through laser cladding, these components can be reinforced with high-hardness alloy layers to resist wear and corrosion more effectively.

Customer Case

Anhui XX Mining Technology Co., Ltd. successfully applied laser cladding solutions to extend equipment lifetime and increase productivity.

Key Challenges in Mining Component Maintenance

1. Severe Wear

Hydraulic rods and middle troughs are exposed to repeated impact and abrasion. Without laser cladding, rapid surface fatigue leads to frequent part replacement, raising operational costs and production downtime.

2. Corrosion Damage

Mining environments are humid and chemically aggressive. Component surfaces corrode quickly, weakening structure strength. Laser cladding provides anti-corrosion alloy protection to restore surface integrity and long-term reliability.

3. High Repair Cost

Traditional repair methods require frequent large-scale maintenance and offer limited durability. Laser cladding repairs surfaces with metallurgical bonding, significantly reducing maintenance frequency and associated costs.

Laser Cladding Solution and Benefits

We provide advanced laser cladding equipment and automated systems tailored for the mining sector. By applying high-strength, wear-resistant alloy layers on hydraulic rods and middle trough surfaces, laser cladding achieves precise strengthening and long-term protection.
