Problems solved by technology

[0014] 3) The powder particles are seriously insufficiently heated, even without melting, they are still solid particles,

[0016] At the same time, the conventional laser cladding rate is low, generally 0.5-3m/min, the powder utilization rate is low, generally about 60%, and the cladding layer is rough, resulting in serious waste of materials, and the laser energy is focused on the base material. The powder is mixed and combined by melting the matrix material, which makes the laser energy utilization efficiency and cladding rate low, and the energy absorbed by the powder center is not enough under the large defocus, so that the powder is still solid particles when combined with the matrix material, and the surface of the finished product is smooth. degree difference

In order to improve the cladding efficiency, by increasing the laser power and increasing the spot area, but it will lead to an increase i
