Abstract

The study of laser power on the deposited of Ti6414V/W was investigated. The laser metal deposition technique has proven to be a process that is sustainable. The microstructure and microhardness properties of a Tungsten powder strengthened composite coating produced via the laser metal deposition process were investigated in this study. Laser metal deposition was completed utilizing laser power of 800W, 900W, 1100W, lOOOWand 1200W. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microhardness machine were used to characterise the microstructure and hardness of the composite layer formed on the surface of the Ti6A14V substrate. The microstructures of all the composite layers produced by the laser metal deposition process were enhanced relative to those of the Ti6414V substrate.
