  • Publication number: 20230182209
    Abstract: An ultra-high speed laser cladding device and a process based on the dual suppression of magnetic force and centrifugal force are provided, including a laser generator, a spectrometer, a powder device, a rotary tool and a magnetic field generator. The substrate is installed in the rotary tooling, through the driving device to rotate it. The magnetic field generator is used to generate a magnetic field in the rotary cylinder. The laser generator produces the first laser beam and the second laser beam with different energy through the spectrometer. They are both focused on the surface of the substrate. The powder conveyed by the powder device is sprayed to the surface of the substrate, laser cladded by the first laser beam and the second laser beam. The gas can quickly escape to ensure the density of the cladding layer and reduce the porosity.

  • Patent number: 11440100
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an apparatus and method for additive manufacturing by ultra-high-speed laser cladding. The apparatus includes a laser generator, a beam expander, and a reflector. A light exit path of the reflector is arranged facing a cladding nozzle. The cladding nozzle is connected to a powder pool through a hose and a pump in succession. A matrix is arranged below the cladding nozzle. The matrix is located on a rotary platform. A main stepping motor is fixedly mounted below the rotary platform. The main stepping motor is fixed on a lifting platform. A laser rangefinder is arranged above the matrix. During the laser cladding-based additive manufacturing process, the ultrasonic vibration device, the infrared camera, the high-speed camera, the laser rangefinder, and the radiological inspection system are turned on to monitor the laser cladding process in real time.
