Laser Cladding reviews the techniques and equipment, process modeling and control, and the physical metallurgy of alloying and solidification during laser cladding. The authors clarify the interconnections laser cladding has with CAD/CAM design; automation and robotics; sensors, feedback, and control; physics material science, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and powder metallurgy. As the first book entirely dedicated to the topic, it also offers a history of its development and a guide to applications and market opportunities. The book also compiles valuable information illustrated with real case studies based on the authors' experience.

Zusammenfassung
Capitalizing on the rapid growth and reduced costs of laser systems, laser cladding is gaining momentum, and in some instances replacing conventional techniques of depositing thin films because it can accommodate a great variety of materials, achieve uniform thickness and precise widths of layers, and provide improved resistance to wear and corrosi
