Research project on “laser cladding” technology, consisting of the application of a metallic coating layer by adding material to the surface of a piece to improve its characteristics, normally to increase resistance to wear or corrosion.
The powder is added by means of direct powder fusion. The creation of the trajectories to be followed during the process is studied, as well as the use of different nozzles for the metal powder and the materials used.
