Residual Stress Reduction by Laser Metal Deposition and High‑Speed Laser Metal Deposition Over Welding
LMD Residual Stress: Superior to Welding in Performance
Residual stresses are an important factor to consider in the manufacture of metal parts, as it can significantly impact the mechanical properties and structural integrity. Over the past few decades, Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) has emerged as a viable alternative to traditional welding, offering substantial improvements in controlling thermal distortions and residual stresses.
