Abstract: A laser metal deposition process is disclosed for carrying out laser metal deposition, whereby the component is metallurgically bonded to partially molten filler material by means of a laser beam directed onto a surface of a component, whereby the filler material is delivered into the laser beam as a powder jet of particles, whereby the particles absorb optical energy from the laser beam in a beam-particle interaction zone at a distance (A) from the surface of the component as a function of process parameters (P) of the laser metal deposition process and of the grain fraction and material properties of the particles and are applied to the surface of the component, whereby the process parameters (P) are adjusted such that at least a proportion of the particles reach the boiling temperature (S) along their trajectory through the laser radiation.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for securing at least one part onto the bottom of a case including at least one stud which projects from said bottom, said part having at least one substantially flat portion provided with an orifice having an axis substantially perpendicular to said bottom and into which said stud is introduced. The case further includes a cover provided, on the face thereof which is directed towards the bottom of said case, complementary means to said stud for, in a closed position of the cover, applying and holding said flat portion onto a support surface provided in the region of said bottom, and means for blocking the cover onto said case. Said complementary means are shaped for generating deformation of said distal portion outwards so that said deformed distal portion of said stud is inserted between said flat portion and said complementary means.
