Laser cladding powders
Cladding powders
Consistent particle characteristics for reliable laser deposition.
The quality of a laser clad coating depends heavily on the powder. Inconsistent particle size distribution affects flow, which affects feed rate stability, which affects coating density and bonding. Getting the powder specification right is a prerequisite for a stable cladding process.
Falkon Automation supplies alloy powders with tightly controlled particle size ranges and flow characteristics, matched to the alloy families most commonly used in wear protection and dimensional restoration work.
Available alloy families
Powders for wear, corrosion and dimensional restoration.
- Tungsten carbide composites: high hardness for extreme abrasion and erosion environments
- Stellite alloys (cobalt-chromium): wear and corrosion resistance at elevated temperatures
- Nickel alloys: corrosion resistance, dimensional restoration on steel substrates
- Stainless steel alloys: corrosion protection and food-adjacent applications
- Copper-based alloys: bearing surfaces and electrical contact applications
Process Consistency
Why powder quality matters in laser cladding.
01
Controlled particle size range (typically 45–150µm) maintains stable powder flow at all feed rates
02
Spherical morphology prevents blockages in powder feed tubes and nozzle orifices
03
Low moisture content reduces porosity risk in finished coatings
04
Batch-to-batch consistency allows process parameters to remain stable across production runs
