The invention discloses a
laser cladding device and a
laser cladding method for a long and thin workpiece. The
laser cladding device comprises a clamping jaw, an ejector pin, a telescopic preheating sleeve, a laser cladding
nozzle, a first guide rail and a second guide rail, wherein the clamping jaw and the ejector pin clamp the two ends of the workpiece; the laser cladding
nozzle slides on the first guide rail; the telescopic preheating sleeve comprises a plurality of sections of heating cylinders of which the diameters are sequentially reduced from the clamping jaw to the ejector pin; the heating cylinder with the
maximum diameter is connected to the first guide rail through a first bracket in a sliding manner; the heating cylinder with the minimum
diameter is connected to the second guide rail through a second bracket in a sliding manner; the telescopic preheating sleeve synchronously moves and contracts along with the movement of the laser cladding
nozzle, so that the workpiece isalways kept in a preheating state before laser cladding; after the laser cladding of the workpiece is finished, the telescopic preheating sleeve reversely moves and stretches, so that the workpiece issubjected to heat treatment; the workpiece is clamped and then preheated, so that the safety of a worker in the operation process is protected; and the workpiece is preheated and subjected to heat treatment, so that the
residual stress of a cladding layer can be effectively controlled, the crack damage is reduced, and the laser cladding quality is improved.
