Advances in Surface Laser Cladding Remanufacturing of Shaft Parts

Laser remanufacturing based on the integration of reverse engineering and laser cladding

Laser remanufacturing has been used as an approach to refurbish or to improve the surface quality of high-priced parts. However, most of the existing systems lack measuring and modelling functions, which results in the uncertainty of the quality of end products. This paper presents a three-dimensional Laser Remanufacturing System (LRS) based on the integration of reverse engineering and laser c...

Progress and Challenges of Ultrasonic Testing for Stress in Remanufacturing Laser Cladding Coating

Stress in laser cladding coating is an important factor affecting the safe operation of remanufacturing components. Ultrasonic testing has become a popular approach in the nondestructive evaluation of stress, because it has the advantages of safety, nondestructiveness, and online detection. This paper provides a review of ultrasonic testing for stress in remanufacturing laser cladding coating. ...

Parts Recovery Problem: the Value of Information in Remanufacturing

In several industries, remanufacturing is an important ingredient of the manufacturing strategy. In a typical remanufacturing site, a job shop is responsible for the disassembly of used machines to obtain parts that will be repaired, or whatever operation is necessary to make it perform and look like new. This paper deals with the value of information in this environment. We compare different s...
