Abstract
Stainless steels as one of the most appealing structural material in many fields of industries because of its resistance to corrosion, high tensile strength, durability, temperature resistant etc. To improve its surface properties and overcome issues like large heat affected zones, poor surface quality, and limited dissolvability, researchers have explored surface modifications through laser cladding. This paper gives a detailed review about the work done in recent years, in the region of laser cladding of different grades of stainless-steel alloys with different coating materials highlighting on feeding ways of cladding material, laser cladding process parameters, types of lasers employed, types of coating & composite coating materials in enhancing the surface properties of the stainless-steel substrate and their relevant applications.
