Numerical simulations for laser clad beads with a variable ...
A 5 axis machine developed Lincoln Laser Solutions, Inc., with a trunnion table, is used for positioning. The process settings used are: 2.4 kW power (Gaussian distribution), a 19 gr/s powder feed rate, a travel speed of 15 mm/s, a 23 mm contact tip to work-piece distance, and a 400 mm focal length.
