This paper uses 316L stainless steel as the powder and matrix material for laser cladding. The scanning speed is 8.18mm/s, the powder feeding rate is 1.15r/min, and the laser melting is performed with a constant laser power (1002.74W) and a layer-by-layer reduction. The laser cladding experiment of single channel multilayer straight thin-walled parts is carried out under the above machining parameters. Lower power laser cladding layer by layer can effectively control the molten pool volume and improve the forming quality and precision of straight thin-walled parts. And it can be observed that the microstructure from bottom to top changes from columnar crystals to equiaxed crystals and then to columnar crystals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
