| Summary: | an overview of laser cladding process. It focuses on the background of
additive manufacturing, the laser cladding process that is being integrated in both CNC and
robotic arm, high speed laser metal deposition. It covers the specimen materials that is being
used in the process such as metal alloys, cladding materials and metal matrix composite. The
report also provides the way that the material specimens are being prepare from the printing
process to polishing to the hardness test that was conducted at the end.
A study of 3 thermal properties and the way each thermal properties were being tested were
provided in this report which is thermal shock, thermal cycle and thermal fatigue. Designing
of the thermal cycle test in both manual and automated ways. The thermal cycle test results for
manual method are being recorded and will be discussed. In the end, the report offers insights
into the future development for this project.
