  • CLADDED TOOL AND METHOD OF MAKING A CLADDED TOOL
    Publication number: 20220288688
    Abstract: A method of creating a cladded tool with a distributor including a feed mechanism and an energy source. The method includes providing a substrate and distributing particulate material from the feed mechanism onto the substrate. The particulate material includes agglomerated particles with diameters between 30 and 100 microns. The method also includes activating the energy source to produce a beam spot on the particulate material, the substrate, or both and at least partially melting the particulate material, the substrate, or both with the beam spot to form a bonded layer of particulate material on the substrate.
