Abstract
Advantages of direct laser cladding of metal consisting in the possibility of directional crystallization of 316L stainless steel samples are shown. Direct laser cladding of metal offers exciting possibilities for production of single crystal structures by directional crystallization of the deposited metal. The growth direction of dendritic crystals is driven by the thermal center determined by the position of the laser spot. We present a technique of manufacturing stainless steel products by direct laser deposition using the developed algorithm which allowed us to connect the movement of the robotic cell and turntable with a sample, laser switching and feeding of the gas powder mixture. The possibility of x-ray tomographic quality control of the obtained products, determination of the parameters of the laser spot on the substrate surface using high-speed photography, estimation of the phase composition of the deposited metal using x-ray diffraction analysis is demonstrated. The structure of obtained metal samples is represented by dendritic crystals oriented in the direction of the thermal center. The sample structure in the sample cross section is represented in the form of a honeycomb formed by the first order axes of dendritic crystals. It is shown that 200-мm thickness of the deposited layer in the central part of the sample does not interfere with the development of the dendritic structure and promotes the possibility of obtaining single- crystal structures free of pores and cracks. The possibility of estimating the inclination angle of dendritic crystals in the metal relative to the symmetry axis of the sample using a metallographic software package for analysis of digital images of the microstructures is shown. It is demonstrated that the roughness of the obtained samples is determined by the size of the powder particles and can be eliminated by the mechanical treatment.
