Laser cladding is a laser-based surface engineering technique for depositing material coatings by melting feedstock powder on a substrate, achieving tailored surface properties and minimal dilution.

Abstract: Laser cladding is a multiple-parameter-dependent process, and a feedback control is critical for the process stabilization. This paper presents a generalized predictive control strategy with ...

This study addresses the issue of cracking in WC/Ni60 cladded layers with high WC content. The effects of different WC contents on the formation quality, microstructure, and microhardness of WC/Ni15 ...

Cladding is no stranger to the oil and gas industry. For years it has been one of the most widely used approaches to mitigate corrosion in subsea valves, tubulars, and other subsea components above ...

For years some cutting-edge fabrication technology has come out of the southern Appalachian foothills. In the 1990s you could travel about 10 miles south of Interstate 20, down a two-lane road through ...

The government has commissioned a technology research unit to find ways to speed up the process of removing and replacing dangerous cladding. Government agency Innovate UK has handed the Manufacturing ...
