- Abstract
This work simulated a modified three-dimensional single-track finite element model and a temperature discrimination mechanism in order to investigate the variation of temperature field in stainless steel and the effect of technological parameters on the coating. Through theoretical calculation, the distinction between the thermal characteristics of CoCrCuFeNi powders and CoCrCuFeNi alloys was made to improve the precision of simulation findings. In addition, to more precisely represent the heat transfer, an asymmetric Gaussian was used to distributed heat source and exponentially change the laser energy to account for the attenuation of laser power along the z-axis. The absorption rate of the laser beam at different temperatures of the material was also considered. The data was curve-fitted to examine the impact of laser power and scanning speed on the cladding layer morphologies. The laser power was found to be proportional to the width and depth of the clad layer, whereas the laser scanning speed was found to be inversely related to the width and depth of the clad layer. The simulation results were basically matched to the experiment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
