Abstract
Laser cladding is often used as a means to achieve alteration of surface properties of a component. Laser cladding is utilized for the manufacture of production components and for the repair and refurbishment of field returned components. Although the laser process applied to production and repair is similar, the implementation approach is different. This article briefly describes the laser cladding process and highlights different engineering aspects for production of original components and repair of parts that were in service.
