An Experimental Approach to the Robotized Fabrication of WC-Co Based Layers

Article Preview

Abstract:

The use of laser cladding (LC) technology for the improvement of surface properties in various mechanical design applications has given rise to the development of application-oriented composites. The present paper furnishes relevant notes on an experimental approach to the design optimization of experiments regarding WC-Co based layers obtained by laser cladding. The current paper emphasizes the influence of parameter variation on the characteristics of the deposited layer and reports the manner in which the heat input and the laser power density influence the microstructure.
