A powder including a plurality of particulates, each particulate including a soft magnetic metallic core coated with a continuous dielectric coating having a thickness selected from a range of 100 nanometers to 100 micrometers. The particulates have a mean particle size selected from a range of 100 nanometers to 250 micrometers. Methods for forming the powder are disclosed. A soft magnetic composite component includes a soft magnetic material in a dielectric matrix, wherein (i) the soft magnetic material comprises a plurality of particulates comprising metallic cores, (ii) each metallic core is coated by a continuous dielectric coating covering >90% of a surface area of the metallic core, (iii) the metallic cores are electrically isolated from each other, and (iv) the dielectric coatings of adjacent metallic cores are consolidated together. Methods for formation of the soft magnetic component by additive manufacturing and hot isostatic pressing are disclosed.

A vertical laser cladding system is particularly effective for the interior surfaces of tube-like structures. The vertical cladding process works from bottom to top, so that previously clad layers form a shelf for subsequent application of cladding powder. This system is also particularly effective for handling double-bore plasticating barrels.
