NiCrBSi coatings are employed to improve the quality of components submitted to high temperature wear and corrosion. Boron and silicon on its composition lowers the melting point and gives them its self-fluxing character. Hard ceramic particles like tungsten carbides (WC) can be added to increase hardness and abrasive wear resistance of the Ni alloy...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2006
NedClad Technology BV is a small highly specialised laser clad firm. As a spin off of Twente University (NL) applies corrosion, wear and heat resistant coatings using a 2 kW Nd:YAG-laser and a 9-axis robot based manipulation system. The laser clad layers are applied on both new products and on worn and damaged products, resulting in better products than the originals. The main fields of interest are the process industry, off shore applications, combustion engine parts, energy generating equipment; besides ther...$28.00

Laser beam cladding represents a technology, which allows high quality coating technique towards other thermal coating processes as for example a good metallic bonding between coating and base material, a fine microstructure and good mechanical properties due to the rapid cooling are reached. Moreover the very small dilution allows ensuring the desired metallurgic properties in for example a one ...$28.00

Laser cladding with various methods have been utilized for some years with increasing quantity. Powder has been traditional type of consumable, but some usage of wires has been used as well. There are also a number of cladding reports with preheated wire deposition. The aim has been to increase the low productivity of laser cladding. Th...$28.00

The keyhole geometry in deep penetration laser welding results of the combination of several complex processes and their relative importance is not really established today. Firstly, we will report several results concerning the geometry of the keyhole where its inclination has been determined as a fu...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2006
The advantages of laser welding are based on the utilization of so called keyhole, which is a vapor channel generated to base material. The energy of laser beam is brought to the material via the keyhole. There are various mathematical models created explaining the shape and behavior of keyhole during welding. However, the validation of the keyhole behavior against the models is lacking. It is common...$28.00

Presented at ICALEO 2006
Hot cracking in welding is still an unresolved problem for a wide range of materials. Restricting the chemical composition usually helps to reduce this problem, e.g. limiting the sulphur content on steels to very low levels. But for industrial applications such additional restrictions on the material norm are hardly applicable. Furthermore some steels grades like free cutting steels contain additional sulphur which counteracts this approach. Therefore ...$28.00
