A laser cladding extruder barrel is a twin screw barrel reinforced with a high-performance alloy layer applied through laser cladding technology.
Unlike thermal spraying or traditional overlay welding, laser cladding creates a true metallurgical bond between the alloy layer and the barrel substrate.
This results in:
No clear interface layer
Minimal dilution
Strong bonding strength
Stable performance under thermal cycling
At ZHITIAN, laser cladding barrels are widely used in compounding, petrochemical granulation, and abrasive material processing.
Many users experience premature barrel wear even when using nitrided steel barrels.
This is because real extrusion conditions often involve multiple wear mechanisms acting simultaneously:
Abrasive wear from fillers and glass fibers
Adhesive wear under high torque
Corrosion from chemical additives
Thermal fatigue from repeated heating and cooling
A single nitrided surface layer is often insufficient under such combined conditions.
Laser cladding improves barrel performance from both material and structural perspectives.
The alloy powder and barrel surface melt simultaneously under high-energy laser input.
This creates a dense, integrated structure without weak bonding interfaces.
Compared to nitriding, laser cladding provides a much thicker functional layer, significantly extending service life in high-wear zones.
ZHITIAN uses nickel-based tungsten carbide alloys with thermal expansion behavior close to the barrel base material, reducing thermal stress and cracking risk.
ZHITIAN develops and applies multiple proprietary alloy systems for different operating conditions:
Nickel-based tungsten carbide alloys for extreme abrasion
Balanced alloy systems for combined wear and corrosion
Customized cladding layouts for localized wear zones
Each barrel is manufactured under controlled procedures, including:
Mandatory quenching & tempering before cladding
Process parameter control for dilution and penetration
Precision post-machining to ensure bore alignment
Laser cladding extruder barrels are especially suitable for:
Petrochemical compounding and granulation
High filler or glass fiber reinforced plastics
Engineering plastics and masterbatch production
Chemical and specialty material extrusion

Which one lasts longer?
Laser cladding barrels generally provide much longer service life in abrasive and corrosive environments.
Is laser cladding more expensive?
Initial cost is higher, but total lifecycle cost is often lower due to extended service life and reduced downtime.
Can laser cladding barrels crack due to thermal stress?
With proper material matching and process control, cracking risk is effectively minimized.
Laser cladding can be used for barrel repair, but remaining wall thickness is critical.
If wall thickness is insufficient, repair may involve high structural risk.
In such cases, manufacturing a new barrel is often safer and more economical.
ZHITIAN evaluates each case based on structural safety, cost, and long-term reliability before making recommendations.
ZHITIAN is a long-term manufacturer of twin screw extruder barrels, screw elements, and gearboxes.
Our laser cladding barrels are developed based on real production feedback, not laboratory assumptions.
From material development to process control, ZHITIAN focuses on delivering stable, predictable performance under complex extrusion conditions.
