Abstract: With the continuous improvement of industrial application conditions, the demand for repairing irregular surface parts is increasing, and curve surface laser cladding technology has attracted widespread attention. Curved surface laser cladding is a complex process with multiple factor coupling, and the quality of the cladding layer is affected by many factors such as cladding path, process parameters, and powder feeding method. This article expounds the research status of path planning methods, cladding head inclination angle, and spot size on the quality of the cladding layer from the perspectives of laser cladding path and process parameters. The advantages and disadvantages of the two path planning methods based on reverse engineering and based on NURBS (non-uniform rational B-splines) curves are summarized and discussed. The inf-luence of the cladding head inclination angle and spot size during the curved surface laser cladding process is analyzed, meanwhile, the influence of other process parameters (laser power, scanning speed, overlap rate) on the forming quality of the laser cladding is summarized. Finally, the development trends of curved surface laser cladding technology are prospected.
