<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">A continuous CO2 laser (10.6 µm wavelength) was adopted to investigate the influence of powder particle sizes on microstructural and morphological characteristics of laser claddings.To study the potential of powder in controlling the incident laser energy, different average particle sizes of Ni-base powder were deposited on an austenitic stainless steel X3CrNi18-10 substrate. The energy value necessary to melt a mass <italic>m</italic> of powder was calculated. The results indicate that this energy decreases with particle sizes.The claddings obtained with small particle sizes revealed a good morphological aspect and a low dilution of the cladding layer in the substrate, yet enough to create a very good metallurgical bond. The residual stress state was also influenced. Concerning modeling, we have elaborated residual stress model in the case of laser cladding by exploiting the response surface methodology (RSM), using a quadratic regression model. Combined effects of three laser cladding parameters on the residual stress is explored by a statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA).
