Laser Cladding Venture supports and facilitates the circular economy.
The laser cladding process itself is material and energy efficient. Since it is an additive technique, there is no loss of material. LCV has recycling technology for regeneration of powder.
End-users rely on LCV for repair of critical components. So LCV gives a second life to items that would otherwise be lost.
On product level LCV protects components against wear with significant life extension as a result. Extrusion dies protected with LCV-CorroSlide have, for example, a 15-fold increase of the life span.
Finally LCV supports the recycling industry by protecting crushers and grinders.
