Development of a Numerical Model for Coaxial Wire Laser Cladding Using 316L Stainless Steel
Wire laser cladding (WLC) provides high material utilization, controllable material feeding, and reduced feedstock loss compared with powder-based laser cladding. In this study, a three-dimensional transient computational fluid dynamics model was developed for coaxial WLC using 316L stainless steel as both the wire and...
