The series focuses on engineering judgment in laser cladding and directed energy deposition: first understand how beam, feedstock, melt pool, and substrate interact, then move into material systems, process windows, defect control, and component-level validation.
Explains metallurgical bonding, pool solidification, powder and wire delivery, parameter coupling, defect control, and selection against PTA, thermal …
Starting from deformable mirrors, four power-density distributions, and areal energy density, this article explains how dynamic beam shaping changes …
Connects melt-pool forces, Marangoni flow, grain growth, thermal stress, porosity, and cracking with field-assisted mitigation and alloy-powder …
A process chain for Q345R vessels using one laser platform for rust removal and Inconel 625 cladding, with parameters, microstructure, performance, …
Uses 40HM tooling steel and NiCrBSi powder to examine material selection, parameter windows, complex-surface toolpaths, post-processing, and resulting …
