摘要

The device (10) has a laser that is provided for performing laser hardening of a component (12). A gas supply device (16) is provided for supplying the protective gas into a processing space (14) of device. The component is positioned in the processing space. An airtight lockable container (20) is provided for surrounding the processing space. A closure element (21) is formed from a glass (22), and is provided for closing the container. The container is lined with a high-warm-conductive material. Holes (19) are provided in the container for the introduction of protective gas.
