Formation of Cladding layer by diode laser

Abstract

The trend toward more efficient energy and resource utilization, as well as need for advanced functionality, has led to a growing demand for materials with high erosion and corrosion resistance. In this report, fundamental characteristics of diode laser cladding were examined using a 500W class diode laser systems. The effect of beam characteristics (beam profile, power density, power, etc.) was also examined on the formation of cladding layers
