Abstract

Today surface treatment of metals with a laser has many meanings (1). It is possible to achieve transformation processes without melting (2), form rapid quench structures on the surface of an article (3), surface alloy by melting another metal or alloy into the surface or surface clad by limiting the mixing of the added alloy (4), localised surface chemical vapour deposition is also possible (5).
