Assessing the quality and productivity of laser cladding and direct energy deposition: Guidelines for researchers

Powell, John; Koti, Daniel; Garmendia, Xabier; Voisey, K. T.

Abstract

This paper provides guidelines and advice to researchers and engineers in the field of laser cladding and related direct energy deposition techniques to help establish a standardized approach to quality assessment and productivity metrics. Factors considered are deposit geometry, porosity, cracking, dilution, build-up/coverage rate, and powder catchment efficiency.
