LaserBond® E-Clad is a high-quality surface engineering break-through product. E-Clad is a metallurgically bonded overlay which replaces hard chrome on cylindrical surfaces.
E-Clad eliminates the negative impacts of chroming on people and the environment, extends component wear life through greater impact, corrosion and abrasion resistance, reducing downtime and improving profits.
Hard chrome plating is used on components such as hydraulic cylinders for wear protection. However hard chrome plating is toxic and not durable in corrosive environments due to micro-cracking and where impact is an issue.
LaserBond® has developed a surface engineering product called E-Clad, suitable for cylindrical components, which is cost equivalent, with superior performance, to hard chrome.
University testing has proven superior corrosion (2-3x), impact and abrasion (3-10x) resistance compared to commercially available hard chrome. E-Clad is metallurgically bonded with negligible porosity eliminating hard chrome cracking and flaking.
E-Clad will improve your profitability via reduced down-time and increased wear life.
