Description

The shape of the cladding tracks is extremely important for producing layers or structures by adding them sequently. This paper shows the influence of the laser power of a diode laser in the range of 500 to 1000 W on the shapes of single tracks in scanner based laser wire cladding. The scanner was used to oscillate the beam perpendiculary to the welding direction. Stainless steel (ER 318 Si) wire with a 0.6 mm diameter was used as deposition material. Height, width, penetration, molten area and weld seam angles of single tracks were obtained from cross-sections at three different positions of each track. The influence of these different positions on the results depends on the traverse speed. The paper discusses this influence in respect to the heat dissipation in the substrate material.
