Beschichten mit Co2-Laserstrahlung

Surface treatment with additive materials was investigated using high power CO sub 2 laser radiation. Different techniques like alloying of steels, densification of thermally sprayed layers, laser gas alloying of titanium and cladding or dispersing by the blown powder technique have been studied. The operating conditions for successful results to produce homogeneous, hard, crack-free, wear and corrosion resistant layers are described.
