Abstract
Laser-assisted wire cladding has emerged as a popular method for the surface modification and repair of components as it provides cleaner processing environments, reduced costs with higher material deposition rates, and better surface finish. However, the high capital cost of laser cladding systems can be detrimental to their adoption in industry. This work presents a favourable option for industry by using a traditional 6 kW Ytterbium-doped fibre laser welder retrofitted with a MIG welder wire-feeding system to obtain laser cladded surfaces without specialized laser cladding equipment. A high dynamic range camera is used to observe material deposition modes, which influence the coating and surface quality. Process-related mechanisms are proposed to explain the observed deposition modes, along with an analysis of the process parameters that influence the clad characteristics. By carefully selecting the process parameters in this non-traditional laser cladding option, defect-free depositions with good surface finish can be achieved.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
