This is an open access article under the CC BY-NC-ND license.The present work focuses on performing a comparative study in the field of Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) analyzing the obtained clads in terms of geometry and quality when vertically using a discrete coaxial nozzle or an annular one. A Fe-based alloy powder (Eutroloy 16606A.04) was used for the study, a heat treatable alloy, with high wear-resistant to abrasion and fatigue stress, typically employed for coating applications. The possibility of controlling the coating process with a non-coaxial thermographic camera has also been evaluated.5766296enginfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessCharacteristics of Fe-based powder coatings fabricated by laser metal deposition with annular and four stream nozzlesconference output10.1016/j.procir.2018.08.094Laser metal depositionCoatingsGeometrical characteristicsFe-Based alloyContinuous nozzleDiscrete nozzleLaser metal depositionCoatingsGeometrical characteristicsFe-Based alloyContinuous nozzleDiscrete nozzleControl and Systems EngineeringIndustrial and Manufacturing EngineeringProject IDinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/723440/EU/A Productive, Affordable and Reliable solution for large scale manufacturing of metallic components by combining laser-based ADDItive and Subtractive processes with high Efficiency/PARADDISEinfo:eu-repo/grantAgreement/EC/H2020/723440/EU/A Productive, Affordable and Reliable solution for large scale manufacturing of metallic components by combining laser-based ADDItive and Subtractive processes with high Efficiency/PARADDISEFunding InfoEuropean Commission Project "PARADDISE: a Productive, Affordable and Reliable solution for large scale manufacturing of metallic components by combining laser-based ADDItive and Subtractive processes with high Efficiency” (Grant Agreement 723440), which is an initiative of the Photonics and Factories of the Future Public Private Partnership.European Commission Project "PARADDISE: a Productive, Affordable and Reliable solution for large scale manufacturing of metallic components by combining laser-based ADDItive and Subtractive processes with high Efficiency” (Grant Agreement 723440), which is an initiative of the Photonics and Factories of the Future Public Private Partnership.http://www.scopus.com/inward/record.url?scp=85057396128&partnerID=8YFLogxK
