Abstract: Shaft parts are prone to failing such as friction, wear, corrosion and fatigue during service, which seriously affect the normal operation of construction machinery equipment. Laser cladding technique, as a common technical means for repairing and remanufacturing shaft parts, can effectively extend service lives of parts. The application of laser cladding technique in the remanufacturing of shaft parts is summarized. The influence of laser cladding process parameters (laser power, cladding speed, overlap rate and powder feeding amount) and cladding material selection on the repairing performance of shaft parts and the auxiliary application of simulation software are focused on. The development trend of laser cladding remanufacturing technique is prospected.
