Laser cladding is a laser-based surface engineering technique for depositing material coatings by melting feedstock powder on a substrate, achieving tailored surface properties and minimal dilution.

High-power diode lasers with outputs of ten or more kilowatts open new application scenarios for laser cladding. Particularly sustainable and resource-efficient coatings can be produced and applied, ...

Sustainable cities demand sustainable solutions, which imply the development of a new mindset for the reformulation of conventional creation processes. Within the fight against climate change, the ...
