Description
Summary:The development and implementation of advanced processes to increase the useful life of components are necessary for several industrial segments, once problems such as wear and corrosion cause great damage. Thus, the emergence of new solutions is important for problems that are solved by conventional methods, but are not so effectively. In this context, the high-speed laser cladding process (HSLC) emerges as a highly efficient alternative to increase the life of components through the deposition of thin layers to improve wear and corrosion resistance. The main objective of this work is to present a systematic review of the HSLC process. The main application areas and features of the process are discussed in detail. Some comparisons with the laser cladding process (LC) are detailed to show the benefits that the HSLC process has over LC. Since scanning speed is one of the main parameters of the HSLC process, the effect of this parameter on microstructure, and mechanical, wear, and corrosion properties is discussed in detail from the information found in the literature. From this review, it is possible to conclude that the HSLC process has great potential to be used in different applications, offering high productivity and efficiency.
