Abstract

Aluminium substrates were covered with a layer of an Al-SiC powder mixture. The surface was scanned with a laser beam during which the surface was melted. The top layer of the laser tracks contained oxide plates apart from some large SiC particles. In the bottom layer a cellular network was found with aluminium cells and silicon-rich cell walls.
