Cladding

Enhancing Surface Performance with DED Technology

Cladding is a technology that deposits high-performance materials onto the surface of existing components to enhance wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and heat resistance, while extending component life.
InssTek’s DED technology enables repair, surface enhancement, and the creation of functional surfaces through a precise deposition process.

Why Cladding?

Industrial components experience performance degradation due to wear, corrosion, and high-temperature environments. Cladding extends component life and reduces maintenance costs by depositing high-performance materials only where they are needed.

Conventional Method
  • Weak bonding
  • Material waste
  • Porosity defect

  • Low heat distortion

How Does InssTek Implement Cladding?

Precision Surface Engineering with DED

InssTek’s DED technology precisely deposits metal onto the surface of existing components, creating a strong metallurgical bond. By selectively depositing material only where needed, it enhances wear, corrosion, and heat resistance while minimizing material usage and thermal distortion.
