Physical and chemical changes always occur in the process of laser cladding, and the cladding quality is directly affected by processing parameters. This paper mainly focused on effects of temperature field of preheating substrate on the cladding quality. Laser cladding process has the following experimental parameters: laser power, powder feeding rate and rotational speed. Three types of cladding powders were used: Ni60A, Cr12MoV and WC-Co. Experiments were conducted by using different substrate preheating temperatures and cladding materials, which affect the quality of cladding layers. Comparison and analysis of the three types of powders showed that under different preheating temperatures, the cladding layer is mainly affected by tensile stress. Besides that, the residual stress of cladding layer is always higher than that of heat affected zone and substrates. The best preheating temperature to test the residual stress for three types of powders are: 600°C, 400°C and 300°C. For all three types of powders under different preheating temperatures, cladding layer and substrate have compact and uniform structures. However, when substrate is overheated the cracking will occur in the substrate. Under different preheating temperatures, the Vickers hardness is higher than that of heat affected zone and the substrate for all three materials. The preheating temperatures for getting the maximum hardness are respectively 300°C, 600°C and 400°C.

Micro-plastic deformation was produced on the surface of the laser cladding layer by micro-forging, thus cracks were healed in cladding layer; in order to reduce the thermal stress, preheating the substrate was needed to reduce the temperature gap between cladding layer and substrate. In this paper, temperature field by micro-forging on laser cladding Ni60 layer was simulated on software named DEFORM-2D. Compared the width of cracks, the results showed that reasonable and effective preheating temperature could ensure to reduce or eliminate cracks on laser cladding layer.

Background: As an important method of remanufacturing, laser cladding can be used to obtain the parts with specific shapes by stacking materials layer by layer. The formation mechanism of laser cladding determines the “Staircase effect”, which makes the surface quality can hardly meet the dimensional accuracy of the parts. Therefore, the subsequent machining must be performed to improve the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of cladding parts. Methods: In this paper, chip formation, cutting force, cutting temperature, tool wear, surface quality, and optimization of cutting parameters in the subsequent cutting of laser cladding layer are analyzed. Scholars have expounded and studied these five aspects but the cutting mechanism of laser cladding need further research. Results: The characteristics of cladding layer are similar to that of difficult to machine materials, and the change of parameters has a significant impact on the cutting performance. Conclusion: The research status of subsequent machining of cladding layers is summarized, mainly from the aspects of chip formation, cutting force, cutting temperature, tool wear, surface quality, and cutting parameters optimization. Besides, the existing problems and further developments of subsequent machining of cladding layers are pointed out. The efforts are helpful to promote the development and application of laser cladding remanufacturing technology.

The purpose of this investigation is to test the laser cladding of different alloy powders onto 1045 medium-carbon steel substrates for parts remanufacturing. The types of alloy powder, laser output powers, and scanning speeds are selected as influencing factors to conduct laser cladding experiments with orthogonal design on the carbon steel 1045 substrate. Bonding shear strength and microhardness of the cladding layer and the substrate are tested and analyzed. The high resolution scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy are also used to analyze cladding layers, microstructures, and elements. The experimental results show that a good metallurgical bond is formed between the cladding layer and the substrate without porous cracks and other defects. Shear stress intensity of nickel-based powder is two to three times higher than that of substrate material, while iron-based powder is five times higher than the substrate material. The type of the powder is the most significant factor and laser power is the least. The hardness of outer cladding layer is higher than that of bonding section and inner section. In the heat-affected zone, hardness is higher than that of the substrate material.

Micro-plastic deformation is produced on the surface of the laser cladding layer by micro-forging, and crack makes a change in cladding layer. In this paper, a finite element model with a simplified panel strain model elastic-plastic of stress and strain relationship and adaptive meshing technique was used to simulate laser cladding layer crack by using DEFORM-2D software. Laser cladding process of cracks by micro-regulation forging is simulated. Comparing to the measurement of crack width, the results show that micro-forging can make the surface of laser cladding layer the residual tensile stress to adjust compressive stress, and the micro-forging can significantly reduce or eliminate the laser cladding layer crack. Reasonable and effective regulation of high-frequency micro-forging can improve the surface quality in micro-cladding layer.

This paper presents an experimental investigation on the metal components fabricated by laser cladding. In the present study, two process of laser cladding were conducted, that is pre-placed powder cladding and coaxial powder-feed cladding. The effect of processing parameters was studied and optimum set of parameters for the superior surface quality was established by employing the orthogonal design. The fabricated components were subjected to metallographic examinations and micro-hardness measurement. Results indicated that the microstructure of coaxial cladding components was finer than pre-placed powder cladding components. The micro-hardness of the fabricated specimen along and vertical the scanning direction were measured using a HVS-1000 micro-hardness tester with a 200 g applied load. Analysis of the physical properties provided further evidence of differences in micro-hardness produced by different process conditions, and the average micro-hardness value of pre-placed power cladding layer was lower than the coaxial powder-feed cladding layer.

Abstract Laser cladding is a new technology to clad metallic material to substrate. The objective of this research is to find optimized process parameters such as preheating temperature of substrate, laser power, scanning speed, spot diameter for cladding Cr18Ni8Mo2Si on 40Cr substrate. Moreover, effects of different cooling modes, cooling in temperature control box or natural environment were studied. Orthogonal experiments are used to find optimized parameters and better cooling strategy. Experimental results are analyzed through measurements of residual stress, micro-hardness, and metallic microstructure. It was observed that parts cooling in temperature control box show better qualities: smaller residual stress, less cracks or other structural defects, better microstructure, and better bonding effect. This research provides a guideline for further researches in temperature control of laser cladding and expands application to rotary die cutting machine.

Cladding Layers

The experiments of laser cladding on the surface of 20 steel were made. High-chromium (Cr) cast iron powder was used as cladding material. The microstructure and hardness of laser cladding layers under different scanning speed were studied. The experiments showed that high-Cr cast iron cladding layer had better properties such as minute crystals, high density, no crack, no gas cavity and good metallurgical bonding with base metal. When the scanning speed was low, such as 10mm/min, the microstructure of cladding layer was cellular dendrite. There were much carbide with the shape of fish-bone distributing among cellular grains. Under higher scanning speed (from 100mm/min to 300mm/min), needle-shaped primary cementite would come into being. When laser scanning speed was 500mm/min, the carbide of cladding zone was very thin. With the increasing of laser scanning speed, the average hardness of cladding zone increased from 388HV0.2 to 580 HV0.2.
