Laser processing of reactive metals. One repair process involves laser melting a titanium alloy filler material () in the presence of a flux composition () to form a titanium alloy cladding () bonded to a surface of a titanium-containing component (). A laser beam () may be applied to a flux composition () covering a powdered filler material () such that the laser beam simultaneously melts the flux composition and the powdered filler material to form a melt pool () which solidifies into a resulting alloy layer () covered by a slag layer (). A laser beam () may heat a flux composition () such that an amount of energy applied to the flux composition is controlled so that a molten slag blanket () heats and melts a powdered filler material () by thermal conduction in the presence of a shielding gas (). 1. A method , comprising laser melting a titanium alloy filler material in the presence of a flux composition under an atmosphere comprising greater than 10 ppm of oxygen , to form a titanium alloy cladding bonded to a surface of a titanium-containing component.2. The method of claim 1 , wherein:{'sub': 2', '2', '2', '3', '2', '2', '2', '2', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '2', '3', '3', '3', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '3', '2', '2', '3', '2', '3', '2', '2', '2', '3', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '3', '2', '2', '4', '3', '3', '3', '2', '2', '4', '2', '2', '2', '2', '3', '3', '3', '3', '4', '4', '2', '4', '4', '4', '4', '5', '5', '3', '5', '3', '3', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '2', '3', '2', '3', '3', '3', '2', '2', '2', '4', '3', '3', '3', '2', '2', '2', '4', '4', '5', '5', '4', '6', '3', '5', '3', '2', '2', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '3', '4', '3, 'the flux composition comprises at least one selected from the group consisting of LiF, LiCl, LiBr, LiI, NaF, NaCl, NaBr, MgF, MgCl, MgBr, AlF, KCl, KF, KBr, CaF, CaF, CaBr, CaCl, CaI, ScBr, ScCl, ScF, ScI, TiF, VCl, VCl, CrCl, CrBr, CrCl, CrF, MnCl, MnBr, MnF, MnF, MnI, FeBr, FeBr, ...
