Daokedao Laser Cladding Success Story: Reducing Scrap Rate for a Korean Electronic Component Factory
A Korean electronic component factory specializing in the production of precision connectors has long been troubled by the high scrap rate caused by surface defects of components. After introducing Daokedao's laser cladding equipment, the factory's scrap rate has dropped significantly. The factory's electronic connectors are made of aluminum alloy, which has low hardness and is prone to scratches and dents during production. Daokedao's technical team customized a low-heat-input laser cladding process for the factory, using aluminum-based alloy powder to clad the defective parts of the connectors. The cladding process has a small heat-affected zone, which will not cause deformation of the connectors. The clad coating has the same color and texture as the substrate, and the surface is smooth, which does not affect the assembly and use of the connectors. After using the equipment, the factory's scrap rate dropped from 12% to 1.5%, saving more than 80,000 US dollars in annual production costs. The factory manager said that Daokedao's laser cladding equipment not only solved the surface defect problem but also improved the competitiveness of the products in the global electronic market. This success story has been promoted in the Korean electronic manufacturing industry, attracting many electronic component factories to consult and purchase Daokedao's equipment.
