LASER SURFACE REFINEMENT IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

摘要

Functional areas of machine tool parts can be improved by laser surface processing with respect to corrosion, wear or vibrations. Surface treatment is a suitable technology, not only to increase the fatigue strength of single loaded workpieces under vibratory stress. It is further applicable to improve the operational stability of random loaded components. This is especially valid for surface hardened parts, but concerns less pieces with a mechanical hardened surface.
