  • Publication number: 20220371124
    Abstract: A method for realizing high-speed cladding of hollow offset-focus annual laser. The method includes the following steps: dividing laser into annual light, and forming an offset-focus annual light spot after the annual light is focused, which acts on a surface of a matrix; during cladding for the surface of the matrix, selecting laser parameters according to different materials; after every cladding, making a shift by 20-80% of the diameter of the light spot in a vertical direction of a scanning speed of the laser; in the cladding process, selecting shielding gas for protection, and blowing the shielding gas to the molten powder in the air to spray the molten powder in air towards the surface of the matrix at a certain speed so that the cladding layer and the matrix are bonded firmly, and cladding the surface of the matrix to form a coating layer.

  • Patent number: 11453086
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for laser cladding and forming of a metal or alloy under partial atmosphere protection. Including: transporting a metal or alloy powder beam by an inert carrier gas to move on a machined surface with a focused laser beam; and forming at least one layer of inert protective gas at the outer periphery of the metal or alloy powder beam. The inert protective gas includes first inert protective gas, and the first inert protective gas is at the outer periphery of the focused laser beam. The problems of limited size, high cost and difficulty in moving a cladding and forming system and the like during part forming are solved by forming the inert protective gas at the outer periphery of the focused laser beam. Compared with the prior art, the convenient, fast and economical method is provided for on-site part forming and repair.

  • Publication number: 20190331929
    Abstract: The present invention relates to the broadband laser cladding apparatus and more particularly to the field of 3D forming. The broadband laser cladding apparatus includes a mirror assembly and a multifunctional reflective optics assembly. The mirror assembly is configured to transmit the laser from the laser generator to the multifunctional reflective optics assembly. The multifunctional reflective optics assembly comprises an upper focusing mirror assembly to receive and redirect the laser to form the cladding spot on the work piece, as well as a reflective mirror assembly to receive and redirect the laser to form the pre-heating and slow-cooling spots outside the cladding spot, wherein the reflective mirror assembly is adjoining with the bottom edge of the upper focusing mirror assembly.
