    Abstract: A laser cladding head comprises a protective housing, a focal array, a turning mirror, and a powder nozzle. The housing extends along a primary axis from a proximal end to a distal end. The focal array is situated at the proximal end and oriented to receive and focus collimated light in a beam directed substantially along the primary axis. The turning mirror is situated at the distal end and disposed to redirect the beam in an emission direction, towards a target point separated from the turning mirror by a working distance of at most a tenth the focal length. The turning mirror is a nonfocal reflective surface indexable to alter an impingement location of the beam on the turning mirror. The powder nozzle is situated at the distal end and receives and directs weld material towards the target point for melting.

    Abstract: A laser cladding system comprises a cladding head and a gas system. The cladding head extends along a primary axis, and comprises a mirror and a powder nozzle both situated at a distal end of the head. The powder nozzle directs weld material at a target point, and the mirror directs a beam of collimated light at the target point. The gas system comprises a high-speed gas nozzle and a gas knife. The high-speed gas nozzle produces a gas sheath coaxial with the beam in a region between the mirror and target point, shielding the mirror from debris and backspatter. The gas knife redirects the gas sheath away from the target point and redirects debris and molten backspatter away from an interior of the laser cladding head.
