Abstract

Laser cladding has been widely introduced into industries for improving or changing the behavior of material to against corrosion, wear and so on. In the process, the molten pool, which is related to powder mass and others, is formed to melt the introduced powder onto the substrate. Thus, the area and stability of molten pool will affect not only productivity but also the final product quality. In order to obtain good quality with excellent stability molten pool in cladding process, we present a low-cost COMS vision detection system to surveille the process, which was programmed by LabVIEW. The different powders were preplaced onto the substrate with different thickness or feed with different mass flow rate, the cladding results were shown that the vision detection is very efficient and accuracy. The results show that the molten pool area increases with the thicker powder, while the dilution will decrease.
