Laser Hardening

In laser heat treating, energy is transmitted to the materials’ surface in order to heat it in a closely controlled way to between 900°C & 1300 °C to create a hardened layer by metallurgical transformation. The laser is used as a heat source, and rapidly raises the surface temperature of a small part of the material. Heat sinking of the surrounding more massive area provides rapid self-quenching, thus producing a hardened transformation layer. No Oil or water is therefore required for quenching.
