Abstract
Cladding material is applied by laser to a net-shape. A method of cladding a host component includes installing the component in a fixture. A shroud component is located against the host component adjacent a select location for the cladding. Cladding is applied to the host component to the select location and adjacent to shroud component so that the shroud component defines an edge of the cladding as applied. The edge of the cladding as defined by the shroud component defines a desired cladding profile requiring no/approximately no post-cladding processing to remove over-cladded material.
