Abstract
In this paper, SKD11 steel wire has been deposited on Cr12MoV plate using Nd: YAG pulsed laser for repairing the die surface damage. The effects of laser power, wire feeding speed, scanning speed and surface roughness on clad geometry have been studied with OM and LSCM. hardness distribution of the cladding layer is also obtained by microhardness tester. Experiment results indicate that the surface roughness is important for clad characteristics due to the light trapping effect. With the increases of roughness, the laser absorption ratio can be raised, both the clad depth and the dilution rate increase, the height decreases. The essence of influence mechanism is effective body energy Ev and specific filling rate ω, and can be used as critical process factors. When Ev is 80~100 J/mm3 and ω is 1~3, a flat cladding layer can be obtained with low dilution, less fusion defects and high hardness. Keywords: Cr12MoV, laser cladding with wire, surface roughness, clad geometry, hardness
