Direct Laser Fabrication is a promising manufacturing technology. A moving laser beam heats a coaxially delivered powder in a gas jet through nozzle in order to fabricate an end-use part directly. The clad geometry is an important process characteristic. In this work, different velocities and different laser shift-distances between two successive layers are used to build walls. For each condition, 1, 3, 5 and 10 layers walls are analyzed, showing the domain of a success and optimal construction. A relationship between the process parameters and the wall height is obtained with a good correlation. In addition a linear relationship relates the wall height to the number of layers. Columnar dendrites are observed on the bottom laser clad and equiaxed grains on the top one. Microhardness measurements show a homogeneous microhardness in each layer but a higher microhardness in the first one.< Réduire
