Laser surface treatments can be used as a powerful tool to repair moulds which have
experienced severe damage during their service lifetime. The present paper studies the …

CO2 laser surface treatment in solid state has been performed on a CK60 structural steel.
The laser energy density was lower than the melting threshold and only caused surface …

To date only gas-atomised tool steel powders have been used for direct laser additive
manufacturing and the potential benefits of using water-atomised powders have not been …

In this work, the influence of the proportion of retained austenite in the abrasive wear
resistance of a laser surface melted martensitic stainless tool steel is analysed. Samples of a …

Laser surface melting of AISI 440C martensitic stainless steel was achieved using a 2.5-kW
continuous wave Nd: YAG laser. The pitting corrosion behavior of laser surface-melted …

Surface modification of AISI 410 martensitic stainless steel was carried out by laser surface-
melting using laser engineered net shaping (LENSTM). The microstructures of laser surface …

Rapidly solidified microstructures, produced by concentrated heat sources, have gained
increasing attention due to the widespread expansion of additive manufacturing techniques …

The aim of this study is to investigate the microstructure and wear behavior of laser cladding
Co-based alloy coating on single wheel or rail material (the laser cladding coating is applied …

In this article, laser cladding process with a blown powder feeding was used to deposit
nickel-based IN-625 superalloy, cobalt-based hardfacing Stellite 6 alloy and high-vanadium …

Surface modification of martensitic stainless steel UNS S42000 was achieved by laser
surface-melting using a 3.5-kW continuous wave CO2 laser. The cavitation erosion and …
