It is used to extend the life of the mold. It also has the advantages of superior bonding strength and precision coating on a local area compared with the conventional thermal spraying technology. In this study, we investigated the effect of cladding on low carbon alloy steel using 18%Cr-2.5%Ni-Fe powder (Rockit404), which showed high hardness on the die surface. The process conditions were performed in an argon atmosphere using a diode laser source specialized for 900-1070 nm, and the output conditions were 5, 6, and 10 kW, respectively. After the cladding was completed, the surface coating layer’s shape, the hardness according to the cross-section’s thickness, and the microstructure were analyzed.}, type={Article}, title={Study on Improvement of Surface Properties of Low Carbon Steel Using Laser Cladding}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/119293/PDF/AMM-2021-4-22-Se-Weon%20Choi.pdf}, doi={10.24425/amm.2021.136420}, keywords={Laser cladding, Vickers hardness, Microstructure, Surface treatment}, }
