Introduction to Laser Machining and Surface Treatment

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Lasers are widely used in industry as processing tools due to their precision of operation, local treatment, short processing time, and low cost. Laser processes include machining, such as drilling and cutting; forming, such as bending and welding; and surface modification, such cladding, texturing, and alloying. In general, laser processing involves high-temperature phenomenon and experimentation of the physical process is difficult and costly. The model studies offers process optimization and reduces the experimental cost and time.
