Abstract
The present disclosure relates to laser devices for laser metal deposition and methods for laser metal deposition. A laser device for laser metal deposition on a substrate is disclosed. The laser device comprises: a delivery opening for delivering a wire or powder metallic feedstock to the substrate; a laser beam source configured to fuse the metallic feedstock with the substrate, the laser beam source being configured to emit a laser beam of a first power; a plurality of cameras configured to record images of a region of interest; and one or more light sources configured to illuminate the region of interest. The one or more light sources are configured to illuminate with a power of a blackbody radiation emitted during laser metal deposition.
Claims9
A laser device for laser metal deposition on a substrate, the laser device comprising:
- a delivery opening for delivering a wire or powder metallic feedstock to the substrate;
- a laser beam source configured to fuse the metallic feedstock with the substrate, the laser beam source being configured to emit a laser beam of a first power;
- a plurality of cameras configured to record images of a region of interest;
- and
- one or more light sources configured to illuminate the region of interest intermittently;
- wherein the one or more light sources are configured to illuminate with a second power, the second power being higher than a power of a blackbody radiation emitted during the laser metal deposition.
