Abstract

The paper presents the results of a research focused on the application of laser surfacing of functional surfaces using an additve material in the form of a wire. Cladding is made in a single layer using a robot. The quality of the cladding layer was evaluated by ultrasonic inspection. Possible occurrence of internal defects was assessed. Macrostructures and microstructures were analyzed on metallographic sections using light microscopy. Influence of the used additive material and the cladding parameters on the microhardness behaviour in the individual parts of the test specimens was also evaluated.
