Laser Heat Treating, also known as Laser Hardening, is the action of changing the microstructure of metals via controlled, localized heating. Most commonly used for steel and cast-iron materials, this surface modification process has applications across industries ranging from tooling and manufacturing to heavy industry and transportation (among others).
This process is embraced for its financially-driven benefits, including extending the life of items and ensuring a higher level of wear resistance. Importantly, a well-defined energy source laser can treat specific areas without causing thermal damage to the remainder of a part, and in many cases, even areas that are difficult to reach with conventional heat sources are receptive to Laser Heat Treatment. The additional capabilities and benefits of the technology have greatly widened the expanse of possible applications.
Below is a recording of a webinar that will dive into the details of this technology. We will explore the science behind proven Laser Heat Treating processes such as Stress Relieving, Tempering, and Solution Treatment, plus the very dominant processes of Transformation and Case Hardening.
In this webinar, you will join our practical, cut-to-the-chase discussion to discover insights about:
- Laser light and laser types
- Common materials processed
- Methods used to deliver light to a part
- The range of industries and applications where Laser Heat Treating has effective results.
