Laser Cladding of Wear-Resistant Coatings for Soil-Engaging Components of Agricultural Machinery: Materials, Multiscale Structural Design, Process Optimization, Field Performance Evaluation, and Engineering Applications
Agricultural machinery components are frequently exposed to abrasive wear, impact loading, and corrosive environments, leading to rapid material loss and premature failure. Laser cladding provides an effective route for surface strengthening and remanufacturing because of its low dilution, metallurgical bonding, and fl...
