Laser cladding is a method of depositing
material by which a
powdered
or wire feedstock material is melted and consolidated by use
of a laser in order to coat part of a substrate or fabricate
a near-net shape part (additive manufacturing technology) . It is often used to improve mechanical
properties or increase
corrosion
resistance, repair worn out parts, and fabricate metal
matrix composites.
