Our expertise lies in cutting-edge techniques like Laser Cladding, Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) Welding, and Metal Inert Gas (MIG) Welding, ensuring unparalleled quality, durability, and precision for every project.

Laser cladding

Laser Metal Deposition (LMD)

Our laser cladding services provide a precise and efficient solution to enhance the durability and performance of industrial components. This cutting-edge process uses a high-powered laser to melt and fuse material onto a substrate, creating a metallurgically bonded layer with exceptional resistance to wear and corrosion.

Laser cladding is ideal for applications requiring tight tolerances and superior surface quality, as its minimal heat input reduces the risk of deformation and changes to the base material’s structure. The result is a smooth, dense, and porosity-free coating—crucial for parts that must withstand harsh operational conditions.

This technology is particularly suitable for industries requiring top-tier surface protection and extended component lifespan, including aerospace, oil and gas, maritime, and manufacturing. With laser cladding, Hannecard ensures the prolonged lifespan and high reliability of your most critical parts.

Advantages of Laser Cladding

  • Optimal process control: Excellent control over welding parameters, resulting in high-quality coatings.
  • Precision application: Minimal heat input reduces deformation risk, preserving the properties of the base material.
  • Durability: Superior resistance to wear, corrosion, and extreme conditions.
  • High-quality finish: Produces dense, porosity-free coatings with excellent adhesion.
  • Efficiency: Ideal for enhancing new parts or repairing and improving existing ones.

Key capabilities

  • Maximum length: 3,560 mm (rotation) - 4,850 mm (static)
  • Maximum outside Ø: 1,600 mm

PTA welding

Plasma Transferred Arc welding

Hannecard’s Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) welding offers a powerful solution for applying wear- and corrosion-resistant coatings to industrial components. This process utilizes a plasma arc between a tungsten electrode and the workpiece, allowing for precise control of the melt pool. PTA welding’s high deposition rate makes it ideal for applying various corrosion-resistant steels and carbides, producing excellent metallurgical properties.

The PTA process is particularly well-suited for heavy-duty applications in industries like aerospace, oil and gas, and mining, where component longevity is critical.

Benefits of PTA welding

  • High process control: Excellent control over welding parameters, leading to high-quality coatings.
  • Durability: Produces surfaces highly resistant to wear and corrosion.
  • High-quality finish: Yields dense, porosity-free coatings with excellent adhesion.
  • Efficiency: Ideal for enhancing new parts or repairing and improving existing ones.

Key capabilities

  • Maximum length: 6,400 mm
  • Maximum outside Ø: 1,065 mm
  • Maximum weight: 2,950 kg

MIG welding

Metal Inert Gas welding

At Hannecard, we offer Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding services that provide a fast, efficient, and highly flexible solution for various industries. This process feeds a continuous wire electrode through a welding torch into the weld pool, while an inert gas shields the weld from contamination.

MIG welding is known for its versatility and is suitable for a wide range of materials. It’s an excellent and cost-effective choice for many sectors and applications.

Benefits of MIG Welding

  • High efficiency: High deposition rate.
  • Versatility: Suitable for a broad range of materials and thicknesses.
  • Automation: Ideal for large-scale, repeatable applications.
