Abstract

Dies, molds and gears are very expensive and difficult-to-manufacture components which develop some repairable damages during their use. These damages do not render them to be rejected due to various industrial and economic reasons but affect their proper functioning. Timely and economic repairing or remanufacturing of these components can greatly extend their life without compromising their functional and quality aspects thus yielding rich financial and productivity benefits. This chapter describes various repair processes for different types of damages that occur in the dies, molds and gears with major focus on laser-based repair processes. It also defines various types of damages and discusses possible causes of their occurrence. This will help users in selecting the most appropriate repair process for the damaged industrial dies, mold, and gear depending upon availability of the resources and various constraints.
