Abstract

An optimization of laser metal deposition process considering tensile strength, clad hardness, clad grain size and clad porosity as performance characteristics were investigated. The influence of laser power and laser scan speed on the thermal gradient and cooling rate with regard Ti6Al4V powder coating on Ti6Al4V substrate was focused. Taguchi’s experimental design approach is employed for planning the experiments and analyzing the dependency of input variables on desired performance measures such as micro hardness, tensile strength, porosity and grain size. The laser scan speed is found as the dominant factor on the clad hardness while laser power has the influencing effect on grain size of the substrate. GRA is opted for determining the multi performance machining characteristics of laser metal deposition process. The experimental outcomes reveal that the proposed method of multi objective optimization considerably enhances the multi performance machining characteristics.
