Who should be chosen for mold repair between laser cladding and traditional surfacing? Speak with data

Should we choose laser cladding or traditional welding for mold repair? Many manufacturers are torn between the two, and we provide an answer using three sets of core data. Group 1: Repair accuracy. Laser cladding focusing spot 0.1-0.3mm, dimensional tolerance ± 0.01mm, flatness error ≤ 0.005mm/m; Traditional welding spot size ≥ 2mm, tolerance ± 0.1mm, flatness error ≥ 0.05mm/m, additional grinding is required for precision mold repair, resulting in a 50% increase in cost. Group 2: Service life. After laser cladding repair, the blade life of a certain stamping die reached 100000 times; Traditional welding repair only requires 30000 times and is prone to detachment issues. The third group: comprehensive cost. A set of Φ 300mm die-casting molds, with a laser cladding repair cost of 80000 yuan and a lifespan of 15000 pieces; Traditional surfacing costs 40000 yuan, with a lifespan of 5000 pieces. The unit product mold cost for laser cladding is 0.53 yuan/piece, while traditional surfacing costs 8 yuan/piece. In addition, the laser cladding repair cycle is only 12 hours, while traditional welding requires 24 hours+8 hours of grinding, reducing downtime losses by 60%. Data shows that besides simple emergency repairs, laser cladding is a better solution for mold repair.
