Laser cladding alternative electroplating solutions

Laser cladding and electroplating are two different processes used for surface preparation and coating applications. Laser cladding involves using a laser beam to melt powder coating material onto a substrate, creating a metallurgical bond between the coating and substrate. Electroplating, on the other hand, involves depositing a metal coating onto a substrate by using an electric current to reduce metal ions in a solution to the substrate surface.
