IBC is using the latest state of the art laser welding process that makes it possible to repair precision components of all types of mold and tool steel, aluminum alloys, copper-beryllium, copper-zinc, titanium, and others.

Applications:
Repairs Surface cracks Edges and corners Damaged and worn gates Worn sealing edges		Weld Joining Inserts Micro cooling

Process Description
The repaired area is filled in several passes until the desired height is achieved. Patented wires with different compositions are used with hardness levels from 20-55 HRC. The transfer of heat outside the welding point is eliminated by extremely short pulse duration (10^-9 seconds). The temperature of the part in 1/18" distance from the weld is not more than 90^oF while complete fusion occurs between the repaired part and the welding wire. The accuracy of the weld may be controlled within 0.002".
