Residual stress generation during laser cladding of steel with a particulate metal matrix composite

Journal article

Laser cladding is used to coat and repair the surface of various components. A significant issue relating to optimisation of the process is the generation of residual stresses. These are affected by the high thermal gradients inherent in the process, and associated differential thermal contraction. These stresses can lead to various types of distortion. A customised 3-D finite element model has been developed, incorporating these effects, based on simulation of conductive, convective and radi...
