TECHNOLOGIES BEHIND EXCELLENCE
Tajdid Manufacturing Company aims to adopt the latest industrial technologies to bring a new dimension to the restoration and enhancement of critical components. The company is focused on achieving high levels of precision, durability, and operational efficiency by offering advanced solutions that address the needs of demanding industrial sectors. Among the core technologies planned for implementation is Laser Metal Deposition (LMD), a cutting-edge process known for its sustainability, cost-effectiveness, and high-performance capabilities in component restoration.
LASER METAL DEPOSITION (LMD), REVOLUTIONIZING INDUSTRIAL COMPONENTS RESTORATION
Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) is a state-of-the-art Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology classified under the Directed Energy Deposition (DED) family. Purpose-built for high-performance industries, LMD enables the precise restoration and enhancement of valuable components subjected to extreme operational conditions.
In the LMD process, a high-powered laser creates a controlled melt pool on the component surface while metal powder or wire is simultaneously fed into the targeted zone. This results in a metallurgically bonded, layer-by-layer build-up that restores worn or damaged areas with exceptional precision, often exceeding the original material performance.
LMD offers a transformative alternative to traditional repair and replacement methods. Instead of discarding high-value parts due to localized wear, LMD restores them to full functionality with minimal material input, delivering cost savings of up to 60-80% and drastically reducing lead times.
ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY FOR SUPERIOR PERFORMANCE
To ensure high-quality, efficient, and repeatable results, we utilize several complementary technologies:
- Automated Powder Feeding Solutions: Our automated powder feeders precisely control coating materials, ensuring uniform deposition for consistent quality in every application.
- Robotic and CNC Integration: We handle complex geometries with high precision by integrating robotic arms and CNC systems with LMD, improving productivity and reducing human error.
- Process Monitoring and Control: Our real-time monitoring systems track key parameters such as laser power, powder feed rate, and temperature, ensuring process stability, precision, and traceability throughout production.
- Reverse Engineering Capabilities: Through 3D scanning and CAD modeling, we replicate and restore damaged or obsolete parts, providing effective solutions for remanufacturing, restoration, and enhancement applications.
- Custom Alloy Development & Material Engineering: In collaboration with material suppliers, we develop and refine alloy powders to meet specific customer needs, ensuring optimal performance in harsh operating conditions.
- Advanced Testing and Inspection Tools: We employ advanced quality control methods, including hardness testing and microscopic analysis, to ensure that every cladded part meets industry standards and customer requirements.
By combining these advanced technologies with our deep industry expertise, Tajdid Manufacturing Company ensures unmatched reliability, precision, and performance in every project.
HOW LASER METAL DEPOSITION (LMD) WORKS?
Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) is a highly precise additive manufacturing process designed for the restoration, enhancement, and protection of industrial components. The process follows a carefully controlled sequence:
- Surface Preparation: The damaged or worn surface of the component is meticulously prepared to ensure optimal bonding.
- Laser Melting: A high-powered laser beam is precisely directed onto the targeted area, creating a small, controlled molten pool on the substrate surface.
- Material Deposition: Simultaneously, metal powder or wire is precisely fed into the laser-generated molten pool.
- Fusion and Solidification: The introduced material melts and fuses metallurgically with the substrate, forming a new, solid layer upon solidification.
- Layer-by-Layer Build-Up: The process is repeated layer by layer, building up the desired thickness and geometry of the restored or enhanced area.
Through this advanced technique, components are not only restored to their original specifications but can also be enhanced to exceed their initial performance, offering improved wear resistance, corrosion protection, and thermal stability. LMD ensures a cost-effective, sustainable, and high-quality solution for extending the operational life of critical assets.
