Laser cladding: A high-speed-imaging examination of powder catchment efficiency as a function of the melt pool geometry and its position under the powder stream
(2023)
Journal Article
This paper provides quantitative information about the paths taken by blown powder particles during laser cladding. A proportion of the powder is "wasted" by bouncing off the solid areas surrounding the melt pool. This wastage reduces the productivit...
