There is potential to improve operational efficiency and reduce operating cost provided that techno-economically viable refurbishment processes and service providers are available. Refurbishment is underutilized in South Africa, but laser metal deposition has the potential to increase refurbishment significantly.enLaser metal depositionLaser enabled refurbishmentIndustrial component enhancementRefurbishmentLaser claddingLaser hardeningAfrimoldConference PresentationVan Rooyen, C., Theron, M., & Burger, H.
