Hard facing and cladding are two distinct surface modification techniques used to enhance the durability and performance of materials, particularly metals, in industrial applications. Hard facing involves applying a layer of hard, wear-resistant material onto a softer base metal to improve its resistance to wear, abrasion, and impact. This process is commonly employed in industries such as mining, agriculture, and manufacturing, where equipment parts are subjected to severe operating conditions. Methods like welding, thermal spraying, and laser cladding are typically used for hard facing. On the other hand, cladding is the process of bonding a protective layer of material over a substrate to provide corrosion resistance, enhance aesthetic appeal, or improve thermal insulation. Cladding materials can include metals, ceramics, polymers, and composites, and the process can be executed through techniques like roll bonding, explosive welding, and mechanical fastening. While both methods serve to protect and extend the life of components, hard facing primarily focuses on enhancing wear resistance, whereas cladding provides broader protective functions, including corrosion resistance and thermal management.
