Abstract

A method of forming a clad weld on the interior surface of a tube includes the step of delivering a rotating filler metal wire to a selected weld location on the interior surface of the tube. The filler metal wire is synchronously rotated with a fiber optic cable which directs laser energy to the selected weld location. This results in the fusing of the filler metal wire to the interior surface of the tube to produce a clad weld within the tube.
