Abstract

The applications of the laser in material processing are based mainly on the local conversion of the radiation energy into heat [10.1). At high intensities the heat is supplied to the workpiece so fast that losses due to heat conduction during welding and cutting are negligible. Nevertheless, the heat conduction is used for transformation hardening. Fig. 10.1 shows the laser cutting of a copper tube as an example.
