Laser cladding
Enduroq 3 has been introduced in specific offshore applications where large piston rods are exposed to splash zones and highly dynamic mechanical loads. The exceptionally severe application circumstances in deep water offshore drilling require surface technology properties outside the conventional galvanic or thermal sprayed technologies can provide. Rexroth uses the laser cladding process to apply a cobalt based alloy (Ultimet) onto a steel rod. With the in-house production of the overlay welding surface technology, piston rods with a rod diameter of up to 600 mm can be equipped with the welded overlay.
