Abstract
During the laser cladding process, active elements will affect the direction and speed of the molten pool flow, impacting the solidification and cladding quality of the molten pool. It is significant to quantitatively evaluate the sensitivity of the influence for the cladding process parameters on cladding quality. In this paper, a three-dimensional numerical model of the laser cladding Fe60 powder was established. The effect of sulfur element on the surface tension, fluid flow, and heat transfer were calculated and analyzed, and the instantaneous evolution laws of the temperature and flow field during the cladding process were revealed. The response surface model was established based on the Box–Behnken Design (BBD) method, and the influence of different process parameters on the cladding process were analyzed. The sensitivity was analyzed by the Monte-Carlo method. The cladding profile was observed by the scanning electron microscope (SEM) to verify the validity of the model. Calculations show that sulfur changes the direction of Marangoni convection, forming a deeper molten pool. The laser power is more sensitive to the effect of the cladding temperature, and the powder feeding rate is more sensitive to the effect of the molten pool flow rate.
