Abstract
This chapter first outlines the core theory of laser direct metal powder deposition processes, encompassing single layer surface cladding and multiple layer additive manufacturing. The fundamental heat and mass flow processes behind the techniques and relationships between process parameters and final characteristics of the clad are explored. It then considers current applications of the process and commercial systems. Some short case studies by industrial users of the technology illustrate how the process is applied in practice. © 2010 Woodhead Publishing Limited All rights reserved.
