316L Laser Cladding
A ductile and hygienic stainless coating resistant to pitting corrosion and acidic media. Cracking risk is close to zero.
Austenitic stainless steel (Cr-Ni-Mo, low carbon)
What this alloy is for
A ductile and hygienic stainless coating resistant to pitting corrosion and acidic media. Cracking risk is close to zero.
Strength
Where it is strong
- Excellent resistance to pitting corrosion and acidic media
- High ductility and impact resistance even at low temperature
- Ductile structure keeps cracking risk very low
- Hygienic surface — suitable for food and pharmaceutical applications
Application
Typical applications
- Food and pharmaceutical equipment (mixers, tanks)
- Pump housings
- Marine propellers and components
- Chemical process equipment
Limit
Limitations
- A soft alloy; wear resistance is insufficient where metal-to-metal friction dominates
Alloy selection is made per part. Even on the same component the right alloy changes when operating conditions change. The quotation states which alloy was selected and why. All alloys →
