Residual stress generation during laser cladding of steel with a particulate metal matrix composite
Laser cladding is used to coat and repair the surface of various components. A significant issue relating to optimisation of the process is the generation of residual stresses. These are affected by the high thermal gradients inherent in the process, and associated differential thermal contraction....
