The use of holographic optics for heat flow control in wire-based laser cladding

Laser cladding with wire utilises a focussing lens to melt the surface of the substrate, into which the wire is fed to build up a clad track on the surface. Process reliablity issues in practice include; clad tracks with high levels of dilution, surface cracking and other defects. Key to this is wir...
