Which risk increases when laser cladding lacks sufficient shielding gas?

A)Increased oxidation of the molten pool
B)Decreased material deposition efficiency generally
C)Formation of excessively large grain structures
D)Elevated risk of thermal cracking overall

💡 Explanation

Insufficient shielding gas allows oxygen to react with the molten metal during laser cladding. This causes Oxidation because the shielding gas removes reactive atmosphere. Therefore, metal oxides form rather than high-quality cladding, decreasing mechanical performance associated only with excess heat.
