The aerospace industry is one of the first sectors to adopt Laser Cladding technology as an international standard for repair and refurbishment worldwide. In aircraft engines, many critical components are coated using this technology. This process is used for both manufacturing and repair, and it is considered an industry standard. Leading engine manufacturers are also introducing 3D printing and laser cladding technologies in the aerospace sector. Various forms of degradation in aircraft engines result from metal-to-metal coating, fatigue, hot corrosion, erosion, and other factors.

Some of the parts and equipment repaired or refurbished using laser cladding technology in the aerospace industry include :

• Turbine blades (various stages)
• Turbine vanes
• Landing gear
• Solar panels
