In this study, LMD-CLAD® process (Direct Laser Additive manufacturing) is developed for alumina and Al2O3-Y2O3-ZrO2ternary eutectic compositions. Powder flowability, laser-material interaction and thermal gradient control have been investigated. Powder granules of aforementioned compositions have been designed by spray-drying. Particle size distribution, Hall funnel test and SEM observations have been performed. Flowability has been improved by 20% in order to match with the LMD-CLAD® process by adjusting their density, size and surface quality. Otherwise, optical absorption of the ceramics has been increased up to 90% thanks to the addition of doping ions. With such a flowability improvement, laser powder deposition tests were successful and enabled us to investigate the effect of laser parameters and thermal environment on deposited beads state.
