High-Power Laser Cladding | Rectangular vs Circular Spots

igh-power laser cladding opens new possibilities for coating large and massive components with extremely high productivity. In this video, I give an introduction to high-power laser cladding and explain what becomes possible when working with laser powers in the range of 10–20 kW. At these power levels, conventional process assumptions change significantly. I discuss the use of different beam shapes, including: – circular laser spots with diameters above 10 mm – rectangular laser spots with widths up to 20 mm These spot geometries enable very high surface coverage rates, the production of thick coatings in a single pass, and improved process economics for large and massive parts. The video provides a basic overview of what high-power laser cladding is about, where it makes sense, and which advantages it offers compared to conventional laser cladding approaches. 🔗 Related technical article:   / trends-laser-cladding-world-part-1-arkadi-...   🎥 Video material courtesy of Fraunhofer IWS, with special thanks to Dr. Maria Barbosa. https://www.iws.fraunhofer.de This video is part of a series on Laser Cladding, Hardfacing, and Surface Engineering, based on real industrial experience. 🔔 Subscribe for more videos on: Laser Cladding • High-Power Lasers • Surface Engineering • Advanced Manufacturing • Industrial Innovation
