Abstract:
Melt flow in the course of laser alloying is considered on the basis of mechanics. The findings show that the melt flow in laser alloying pool is mainly controlled by two action forces,i. e. the surface tension force on alloying pool.surface,caused by the temperature difference on the pool surface and the buoyancy force in alloying pool caused by the temperature difference in the horizontal direction in the melt pool. These two forces differ in their acting areas. The analysis of the Bond dimensionless number used for laser alloying shows that the two force actions are in the same order,and almost equal under the certain condition.
