Cladding

Overlay welding protects metal components and extends their service life

Metal components are subject to degradation through chemical exposure, abrasive wear, and corrosion, affecting both internal and external surfaces. Overlay welding of special alloys, also known as cladding, significantly extends the service life of components – but it's a technologically challenging process.

We offer modern systems and customized welding processes that help you to achieve your required level of quality.
