Abstract

In laser-aided materials processing, the heat, mass, and momentum transport processes depend on the intensity of the incident laser beam and the laser-materials interaction time, as shown in Fig. 1.1 [Mazumder (1991)]. The laser power density is about 103 to 104W/cm2 for laser surface hardening, where heat conduction and mass diffusion in the solid phase are important in order to determine the dwell time required for phase transformation. For surface melting and welding, the power density is about 105 to 107W/cm2, and convection in the melt pool becomes significant. During laser surface alloying and cladding, where the power density is about 105 to 106W/cm2, the convection heat and mass transfer processes affect the nonequilibrium microstructure and composition of the solidified material. Vaporization and plasma formation affect the surface contour, laser energy partitioning, and the depth of penetration during laser welding. When the power density exceeds 107W/cm2, such as in laser drilling, vaporization and gas dynamical effects become important. For laser chemical vapor deposition (LCVD) processes, the laser power density is about 103 to 104 W/cm2, the substrate is not melted, only heat conduction occurs in the substrate, mass diffusion in the gas phase is important at low gas pressures, and convection in the gas phase becomes important at high gas pressures.
