Abstract

A remanufacturing method for a metal part having a damage. The damage groove is divided into a number of levels, and the groove bottom is treated by absorption layer-free laser shock peening to remove surface impurities and to refine surface-layer crystal grains. Then a cladding layer is formed by laser cladding. The process is repeated until the groove is completely filled by the cladding layer to higher than the surface of the metal part and the cladding layer higher than the surface is cut by a mechanical processing and polished, and the upper surface of the laser cladding layer is subjected to large-area overlapped laser shock peening.
