Powder-Fed Laser Cladding: Why Stable Feed Rate Does Not Guarantee Stable Deposition

In powder-fed laser cladding, a stable feeder setpoint and an in-spec particle size distribution do not guarantee a stable deposit. Catchment efficiency and stream divergence sit between the feeder and the melt pool, and both can drift independently of the powder's PSD.
