The present work consists of making single lines and various overlapping lines of TiB2 powder on an Aluminium substrate using Nd: YAG laser and analysing their microstructures and hardness. The role of various processing parameters such as laser power, scanning speed, laser beam diameter, percentage of overlap, powder flow rate on laser cladding has been described. It is possible to make a clad layer of uniform thickness of 0.55 mm having hardness of 100 HVenLaserLaser claddingLaser beamsTiB2 powderYAG laserAluminiumTribological propertiesOpticsPICALO 2010Conference PresentationKumar, S., & Pityana, S.
