E-Clad Laser Cladding

E-Clad is an E-volutionary New Alternative to Hard Chrome Plating

LaserBond® E-Clad is a high-quality surface engineering product, providing a laser clad coating that replaces hard chrome on cylindrical surfaces. This cladding product uses less than 25% of the energy used when hard chroming – adding to the E-Clad’s already excellent environmental profile.

The benefits don’t stop there – components coated with E-Clad are more impact resistant and have significantly better abrasion and corrosion resistance than hard chrome. In fact, in independent testing by the University of South Australia, E-Clad provided a 3-10 times higher wear resistance than commercial hard chrome coatings and 2-3 times better corrosion resistance in a saline environment. E-Clad’s superior performance means extended wear life because equipment operates for longer and fewer planned and unplanned shutdowns. Applying E-clad is fast, , providing faster turn-around times, mitigating the delays inherent in electroplating.

E-Clad replaces the negative effects of chroming on both people and the environment, enhances efficiencies, reduces downtime, increases wear life, and in doing so, improves our customers bottom line.
