Method and system of edging cladding operation

摘要

A system and method for edging a deposit layer in any of cladding, building up, and hard-facing applications is provided. The system includes a high intensity heat source that heats a workpiece and creates a molten puddle. The system also includes a wire feeder that feeds a wire to the molten puddle. The wire melts in the molten puddle and creates a bond with the molten puddle to form the deposit layer on the workpiece. The system further includes an edging system that has at least one laser that emits a laser beam that impinges on at least one of a surface area and an edge area of the deposit layer to modify the deposit layer. The laser modifies the deposit layer by at least one of melting and vaporizing at least a portion of the surface area and/or the edge area.

1. A system for edging a deposit layer in any of cladding, building up, and hard-facing applications, said system comprising:
a high intensity heat source that heats a workpiece and creates a molten puddle; a wire feeder that feeds a wire to said molten puddle, said wire melts in said molten puddle and creates a bond with said molten puddle to form said deposit layer on said workpiece; and an edging system comprising at least one laser that emits a laser beam that impinges on at least one of a surface area and an edge area of said deposit layer to modify said deposit layer by at least one of melting and vaporizing at least a portion of said at least one of said surface area and said edge area.
