Scanning lasers evaluated as part of an industrial process for hardening steel
Researchers at the UPV/EHU-University of the Basque Country, Spain, say they have validated a laser scanning optics system that may enable laser hardening of steel parts of varying shape and thickness at an industrial scale.
One Minute Mentor: The S-Phase
The success of plasma and gas nitriding at low temperatures (lower than 840°F) and solution nitriding at high temperatures is associated with the absence of chromium nitride or carbide precipitation, and thus with the formation in the surface layer of a particular phase called the S-phase.
