LASER CLADDING REMANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY AND ITS APPLICATION IN MOULD

Dies and moulds are an important tool in engineering manufacturing, often because of various reasons and failures. As a new remanufacturing technology, laser cladding technology has been extensively used in the surface strengthening of dies and moulds. In this paper, the classification and failure forms of dies and moulds and the process of laser cladding technology are summarized, and the characteristics of laser cladding technology in dies and moulds strengthening are analyzed in detail. Finally, the challenges and opportunities faced by laser cladding are discussed to draw several key conclusions.
