Below melting; used for laser hardening or annealing. Melting: Used for welding and laser cladding. Vaporization: Used for precision cutting and drilling.

Used to predict the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) size. 🌊 Phase Changes and Fluid Dynamics The Theory of Laser Materials Processing: Heat ...

Governing equation for heat flow within the solid. Below melting; used for laser hardening or annealing

Highly dependent on wavelength, surface roughness, and temperature. the rest is reflected. Once absorbed

Only a fraction of the laser power is absorbed; the rest is reflected.

Once absorbed, energy moves through the material primarily via conduction.
