ABSTRACT:
A powder delivery nozzle (32), for a laser cladding delivery head (38), includes inner and outer sleeves (52, 54). The inner sleeve (52) defines a central passage enabling a laser beam to pass along the nozzle axis. The sleeves (52, 54) define a multi-branched longitudinally extending powder flow-path system (52, 57, 58, 59, 60, 62). The system (52, 57, 58, 59, 60, 62) includes a first set of passages (59), and a second set of passages (60), with the passages (59) of the first set angularly offset from the passages (60) of the second set. Each passage (59) of the first set communicates with two passages (60) of the second set by a circumferential passage or gallery (58) such that powder from each passage (59) of the first set passes through to two passages (60) of the second set. The same form of communication is able to apply to any other set.
