Laser metal deposition (LMD) is an additive manufacturing technique used to produce precise hard facing on metal samples. LMD is a process where a laser beam is usually used to form a melt pool on a metal surface. It is used as a component or tool repair and to apply thin protection layers to resist corrosion and wear. Laser cladding technology is found to be an effective method to produce a high quality protective layer produced in short duration, it is also found to be of high surface quality and more resistant than the conventional techniques. In this study, LMD was applied on heat treated samples to develop high abrasive protective hard-face layer. In this research work, WC/NiCrB powder was overlayed on gas carburized AISI (93XX series) grade steel. These steels have applications as high-performing mining tools i.e., DTH Bits and Rotary cones. Microstructural characterizations of the hard- faced materials was carried out using Optical Microscope and Scanning Electron Microscope. Metallurgical Bonding and micro-hardness, of the clad layer and substrate was tested and analyzed. The results show excellent metallurgical bond and metallurgical properties in the materials after the LMD. The dilution levels are also under the acceptable limits from the EDAX analysis which confirms the better metallurgical bond of the over lay on the steel substrate. Additive manufacturing techniques such as LMD can be used to develop better surface properties in the mining tools and thus reducing the maintenance costs.
