Abstract
A method of applying a laser metal formed build layer on a surface of an article. The surface of the article is melted locally using a light source to form a melt pool. Powdered metal is injected into the melt pool. The melt pool is solidified to form the build layer having a desired microstructure and geometry on the surface of the article.
