Benefits of Laser Deposit Welding in Descale Pump Application (Room 404)

16 May 22

Tracks: Maintenance & Reliability

Laser deposit welding (LDW) of wear surfaces in descale pumps can provide significant benefits. This upgrade provides a very hard wear surface and no longer requires a sacrificial component. Using LDW, impeller rings can be eliminated, removing the risk of a ring failure. LDW technology significantly deters the opening of critical wear ring clearances, maintaining rotor stability and performance for a much longer period of time. Superior material hardness also protects against damage during transient events. Hydro’s presentation will focus on the benefits and application of LDW in descale pumps with a case study showing practical application of the concept.
