Laser Cladding on Titanium Alloys: A Review of Surface Modification Technique

<p><span>Surface modification techniques are critical in enhancing the performance and extending the lifespan of materials, particularly in industries where extreme conditions are commonplace. Titanium alloys have gained prominence due to their exceptional properties, such as high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. This chapter provides a comprehensive review of laser cladding as a surface modification technique for titanium alloys, discussing its advantages over conventional methods and highlighting the key equipment and materials involved. Subsequently, the properties and applications of titanium alloys are explored, Recognizing the unique challenges that titanium alloys face in demanding environments, this delves into the specific requirements for surface modification, including enhanced wear resistance and corrosion protection. Advancements in laser cladding techniques are investigated, including innovations in multi-material cladding and additive manufacturing... Real-world applications across various industries are showcased, demonstrating the economic and practical advantages of laser cladding on titanium alloys. </span></p&gt

Similarly T1 group has significantly (P<0.05) higher Haemoglobin concentration than T2 and T3 groups. Packed cell volume revealed, T3 group has significantly (P<0.05) higher value than T2 and T1 groups. T1 and T2 groups have significantly higher glucose concentration than in T3 group. Similar observation was reported in total protein content. SGOT concentration revealed that significant (P<0.05) difference was observed among the groups and T3 group has significantly higher value than other groups whereas SGPT level was significantly higher in T3 and T2 groups than in T1 groups. Endocrinological profiles such as (T3) triiodothyronine and (T4) thyroxine revealed that T1 group have significantly higher level than T2 and T3 groups and T2 group had significantly (P<0.05) higher T3 and T4 value than in T3 group. Similarly, significantly (P<0.05) higher cortisol was recorded in T3 group over T2 and T1 groups and T2 and T1 groups were comparable. It was found that the intensive system of rearing has higher beneficial effect on comfort and productive performance for sheep farming in the tropical conditions. In the other 2 systems, the stress need to be reduced by supplementation of higher plane of nutrition, electrolyte supplementation during extreme summer and creation of waterbodies in the path of grazing and provision of shade and shelter for the sheep flocks while on long hours of grazing are essential.Not Availabl
