Transverse flow laser spray nozzle |
September 18, 1990 |
| A feed material is melted by a focussed laser beam in a partially confined interaction volume, and ejected from the interaction volume in a direction different from the axis of the laser beam. The feed material, preferably in the form of a finely divided powder fluidized by a gas stream, |
