Overview

What is dual metal additive welding?

Two Metals, One Component

Deposit dissimilar metals in defined zones to combine strength, toughness, wear, and corrosion resistance.

Functional Gradients

Gradual or stepped transition layers reduce thermal stress and metallurgical incompatibility.

High-Value Repairs

Upgrade worn components by adding superior surface material over a structural base.

Applications

Where dual metal deposition excels

Typical Metal Combinations

  • Carbon steel + Stainless steel
  • Steel + Hardfacing alloy
  • Steel + Nickel-based alloy
  • Stainless steel + Cobalt alloy

Use Cases

  • Wear-resistant surfaces on load-bearing parts
  • Corrosion-resistant overlays on structural components
  • Hybrid tooling and dies
  • High-temperature & erosive environments
Process

Dual metal additive welding workflow

Feasibility & Metallurgy Study

Evaluate metal compatibility, thermal behavior, dilution limits, and cracking risk.

Zone Design & Path Planning

Define base material zones, transition layers, and top-layer geometry.

Multi-Material Deposition

Sequential or blended deposition using controlled parameters and robotic path accuracy.

Inspection & Finishing

Visual, dimensional, hardness checks with optional machining and NDT.

FAQ

Common questions

Yes, if not engineered correctly. We mitigate this through material pairing, transition layers, and heat control.
In many repair and low-volume cases, yes - additive welding offers flexibility without tooling costs.
Usually yes, especially for precision fits and sealing surfaces.
