Enhancing steel-on-aluminum wire laser cladding through laser-induced surface texturing and response surface methodology

Stainless steel laser cladding on aluminum substrates is severely restricted by poor metallurgical compatibility and the formation of brittle Fe–Al intermetallic compounds. To address this challenge, this study proposes a novel hybrid approach that combines laser surface texturing with coaxial wire laser cladding (1....
