Abstract :
Laser Cladding is one of the processes that is considered in manufacturing of different objects such as airplane blades and shafts. Many studies have been presented to optimize this process, but there is a research gap in the field of temperature simulation effect. The reason for the importance of temperature simulation is the direct correlation of the temperature gradient with the properties of manufactured object. The purpose of this study is to simulate temperature field of laser cladding process with COMSOL6.0 software. After verification of presented temperature with previous study with 0.2 % error, parameter studies including temperature dependent parameters and heat loss are presented verses temperature, time and laser power were presented with mathematical models.
