Civil engineering (General) Laser based additive manufacturing technology (LAM) comprising of Laser composite surfacing (LCS) technique has emerged as an alternative photon driven manufacturing technology for the fabrication of hybrid metal matrix composite coatings to enhance the mechanical and tribological properties of critical machinery components.
