Abstract
Optimizing the process parameters is crucial to obtaining a high-quality fusion coating. The fitted regression model for each response was then analyzed by creating a central composite test with process parameters and power ratios (laser power, scanning speed, and Ni-clad graphite content) as inputs and the quality of the fused coating (dilution rate, microhardness, and width of the fused coating) as responses. The laser cladding process parameters and power ratios were optimized using the multi-objective Gray Wolf Optimization (MOGWO) algorithm. The best combinations of process parameters and power ratios were laser power of 1596 W, scanning speed of 21.7 mm/s, and Ni-clad graphite percentage of 18.4 %. Experimental validation demonstrates the superiority and accuracy of the MOGWO algorithm. The dilution rate of the optimized fusion-clad coating is increased by 47.4 % and the microhardness is increased by 17.8 %.
