Laser cladding by powder injection has received significant attention in recent years due to its unique features and capabilities in various industries involved in metallic coating, prototyping, and low-volume manufacturing. Further development of this technique depends on enhancement of understanding the variables that affect the quality (in terms of bonding and being crack free), morphology and microstructure of the clad. This book contains chapters on composite coating development using laser cladding process. Developed coating shows superior mechanical and tribological properties along...
