Control of defects during laser surface alloying

Abstract: Laser surface alloying is a new and promising technique for generating surface alloys having a wide range of favourable properties. The process involves altering the surfaces of inexpensive substrates by adding small quantities of alloying elements to a pool of molten metal produced by local melting using the intense heat of a laser. Certain defects such as cracks, porosity, surface roughness, compositional inhomogeneity, and excessive dilution have been observed during laser alloying (pulsed Nd : YAG laser) w… Show more

“…A high depth of alloying with low distortion can also be achieved. [9] Among hardfacing alloys, nickel-based Colmonoy 88 powder is a unique alloy that contains chromiumtungsten borides and carbides for maximum abrasion and corrosion resistance and is a relatively low-cost alloy. [10] The excellent properties of these powders are yet to be explored in the turbine industry.…”

“…The most important applications concern surface preparation, surface treatments, machining and welding. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Among the surface properties modified by laser treatment, protection against corrosion is of great importance. Surface modification through laser surface melting is, for instance, often reported to improve the resistance against localised corrosion inherent to stainless steels, such as intergranular corrosion and pitting corrosion.…”
