Laser cladding is a technique that is used for the coating, repair and production of metallic parts. Material is added to the surface of the part by injecting a flow of powder into a melt pool that is created with a high power laser beam. When the beam scans the surface of the substrate, strong local heating and cooling results. A good knowledge of the temperature distribution history during the laser cladding process is vital to predict and optimize the material properties of the final part. This paper presents a contactless temperature measurement system with high temporal and spatial resolution based on a hyperspectral line camera. High temperature measurements were made during laser cladding of AISI 316L stainless steel. A good correlation is shown between the temperature measurements and microscope images taken after creation of the clad.
