The material is then melted and solidified through laser scanning, ultimately forming a metallurgically bonded cladding layer. This method is still valuable in certain laser cladding tasks for specific structures and is implemented in two main ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1) Pre-Coating Method<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>In this method, cladding powder is mixed with a binder to form a paste, which is manually applied to the area of the workpiece that requires treatment. After drying, the <strong>\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03c1<\/strong>&nbsp;process is carried out. The pre-coating method is low-cost and easy to operate, making it one of the most basic <strong>\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03c1<\/strong>&nbsp;approaches. However, due to the difficulty in controlling the coating thickness and its relatively low production efficiency, it is not suitable for batch production or scenarios with high consistency requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2) Pre-Formed Thin Sheet Method<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>In this approach, cladding powder is pressed with a small amount of binder to form thin sheets, which are precisely placed on the areas of the workpiece to be repaired or reinforced. Afterward, the <strong>\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03c1<\/strong>&nbsp;process is applied. The pre-formed thin sheet method boasts high powder utilization, good process stability, and is particularly suitable for laser cladding on special structures like deep holes and inner walls. For instance, it can effectively restore the coating of small-diameter valve bodies, achieving high-quality and uniform <strong>\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03c1<\/strong>&nbsp;\u03b1\u03c0\u03bf\u03c4\u03b5\u03bb\u03ad\u03c3\u03bc\u03b1\u03c4\u03b1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>02 One-Step Method (Synchronous Method)<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The one-step method, also known as synchronous powder feeding <strong>\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03c1<\/strong>, involves feeding cladding material directly into the melt pool area while the laser irradiates the workpiece, completing both melting and solidification in one integrated step. This method is suitable for automated, high-efficiency <strong>\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03c1<\/strong>&nbsp;processing and is currently the mainstream <strong>\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03c1<\/strong>&nbsp;technology in industrial applications. It mainly includes two types:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1) Synchronous Powder Feeding Method<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This method uses a powder feeder to directly spray either single or composite powders into the laser irradiation zone. By precisely controlling the powder feeding rate and laser scanning parameters, the thickness and composition of the cladding layer can be adjusted. Due to the high absorption rate of loose powder by the laser and its excellent thermal efficiency, this <strong>\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03c1<\/strong>&nbsp;method can produce thicker coatings and is easy to integrate into automated equipment. It is a widely used technical path in modern <strong>\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03c1<\/strong>&nbsp;systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2) Synchronous Wire Feeding Method<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The principle of the synchronous wire feeding method is similar to the synchronous powder feeding method, with the distinction being that wire material is used as the cladding material. This method offers high material utilization, uniform composition, and no powder contamination. It is especially suitable for composite material cladding, as it avoids segregation issues caused by powder density or granularity differences. However, the smooth surface of the wire may cause laser reflection, reducing laser energy efficiency. Moreover, the types of wire material currently available are limited, and the manufacturing process is more complex, which restricts its widespread application in <strong>\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03c1<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>\u03a3\u03c5\u03bc\u03c0\u03ad\u03c1\u03b1\u03c3\u03bc\u03b1<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The two-step and one-step methods are two typical material supply strategies for <strong>\u03b5\u03c0\u03ad\u03bd\u03b4\u03c5\u03c3\u03b7 \u03bc\u03b5 \u03bb\u03ad\u03b9\u03b6\u03b5\u03c1<\/strong>, each suited for different scenarios and workpiece requirements.
