The Hybrid Coating Center (HCC) of GTV Verschleißschutz GmbH offers the process variants of laser cladding (LC) and plasma transfer arc (PTA). The processes can be operated individually, in combined use, or simultaneously supported by means of induction heating. In addition, process monitoring is available by means of infrared and high-speed cameras as well as complementary systems for process diagnostics.
