A. Frenk et W. Kurz, HIGH-SPEED LASER CLADDING - SOLIDIFICATION CONDITIONS AND MICROSTRUCTURE OF A COBALT-BASED ALLOY, Materials science & engineering. A, Structural materials: properties, microstructure and processing, 173(1-2), 1993, pp. 339-342
Laser cladding experiments with a hypoeutectic Stellite 6 alloy have b
een performed with scanning speeds ranging from conventional values (1
.67 mm s(-1)) up to very fast values (167 mm s(-1)). The evolution of
the secondary dendrite arm spacing is discussed using the solidificati
on conditions deduced from a two-dimensional heat flux model and the q
uaternary Co-Cr-C-W phase diagram.
