In this experiment, several coatings, which were used 434L ferrite stainless steel powders and B4C powders as raw material, were prepared under different laser scanning power. The samples of the coatings were detected by XRD and EDS, and observed by OM and SEM. The results are shown as follow: when laser scanning power is 1800W, the cladding layer contains FeB and CrB6, as scanning power increasing, these two phases disappear in cladding layer, and Fe2B and CrB are detected in the layer. Fe2B, CrFeB, (Cr Fe)7C3, Fe-Cr solid solution are found in all samples no matter which laser scanning power are changed to prepare cladding layers The morphology of phases rich boron and carbon transform from an irregular layer-like shape to a cycle-like or a bar-like one with the scanning power increasing.

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.

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.

Numerical simulation of laser cladding is the main research topics for many universities and academes, but all researchers used the Gaussian laser light source. Due to using inside-beam powder feeding for laser cladding, the laser is dispersed by the cone-shaped mirror, and then be focused by the annular mirror, the laser can be assumed as the light source of uniform intensity.In this paper,the temperature of powder during landing selected as the initial conditions, and adopting the life-and-death unit method, the moving point heat source and the uniform heat source are realized. In the thickness direction, using the small melt layer stacking method, a finite element model has been established, and layer unit is acted layer by layer, then a virtual reality laser cladding manu-facturing process is simulated. Calculated results show that the surface temperature of the cladding layer depends on the laser scanning speed, powder feed rate, defocus distance. As cladding layers increases, due to the heat conduction into the base too late, bath temperature will gradually increase. The highest temperature is not at the laser beam, but at the later point of the laser beam. In the clad-ding process, the temperature cooling rate of the cladding layer in high temperature section is great, and in the low-temperature, cooling rate is relatively small. These conclusions are also similar with the normal laser cladding. Finally, some experiments validate the simulation results. The trends of simulating temperature are fit to the actual temperature, and the temperature gradient can also ex-plain the actual shape of cross-section.

Cladding experiment with parameter variations was presented to manufacture the better processing property coating by laser cladding self-fused Ni-based ceramic powder of ZrO2 composite on the excircle surface of 304 SUS. The influence of the laser process parameters on macroscopic view, microstructure and micro-hardness of the laser cladding layers were investigated. The results show that we can get better coating when laser power is 1.5KW, and that the cladding layer microstructure has the trend of refined framework with the growing of scanning speed; micro-hardness will be higher and distribution from substratum to surface with little fluctuate by optimizing scanning speed.

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.

TiC/Ni cermet cladding layer on the surface of 16Mn steel was fabricated with plasma cladding process. Different additions of Mo were 0%, 5%, 10% and 15% in mass percent. The cladding layer was composed of ceramic particles and Ni alloy binder. And the gradient distribution of ceramic particles was observed. And Mo was found in TiC ceramic particles in solid solution. The mechanical properties of the cladding layers with different Mo additions were all better than the cladding layer without Mo. However, the cladding layer with 10% Mo had more defective microstructure and worse mechanical properties.

The Co-base alloy laser cladding layer was coated on the 2738 mold steel surface by using the TJ-HL-5000 transverse-flow CO2 continuous laser. The morphology and hardness were investigated by metallography microscope, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and microhardness tester. The metallography microscope and SEM investigations show that from interface to surface along the cross section direction, the cladding layers consist of plane crystal layer, columnar crystal layer, dendrites layer and surface cellular crystal layer, respectively. XRD results indicate that the cladding layer is made of γ-Co, Cr23C6, MoC, FeCr and Co3Mo2Si phases. The micro-hardness of the laser cladding coating was about 900-1100HV1, 3 times or more of the steel substrate. And the mechanisms of microstructure formation and strengthening are investigated.

Abstract Arc ablation is the main reason for the failure of pure copper switches. In order to improve the electric ablation resistance of pure copper contacts, Cu-W-Ni alloy cladding layers with different tungsten contents were prepared on the surface of pure copper matrix by laser cladding technology. The microstructure, composition distribution, hardness and corrosion resistance of the cladding layer were analyzed. The results show that the surface of the cladding layer and the pure copper matrix is metallurgical, without holes, cracks and other defects, and the dilution rate is low, and the average hardness is significantly increased. On the whole, the comprehensive properties of CuW10Ni3 cladding layer are slightly better than the other two Cu-W-Ni cladding layers. Compared with the pure copper matrix, the contact hardness is significantly improved under the premise of ensuring the electric conductivity of the inner pure copper matrix.
