Abstract: | Some predictions on the hardness and hardening depths on laser heat treatment of steels can be obtained when specific characteristics of both laser processes (heating and cooling rates) and laser heat treated steels (microhardness profiles) are taken into account. Some controlled surface temperature laser heat treatments have been carried out with a medium power c.w. CO2 laser on a medium carbon steel (AISI/SAE1045), allowing these predictions to be tested. In particular, knowing the surface temperature has enabled an analytical algorithm to be used to describe thermal processes and a simple exponential expression to be employed to carefully predict the hardened case depth. |
