The device is perfectly suited to high-powered surface treatment processes, such as heating unidirectional composite strips, hardening or polishing metals, and cleaning surfaces
Handika Sandra Dewi explores the effects of circular, square and triangular oscillation strategies when treating microalloyed steel
Lasers can be used to install new electrical, optical and mechanical properties in materials
The new centre, dedicated to materials modification, will work closely with firms active in laser manufacturing to help address current manufacturing challenges
Scansonic, a producer of laser optics for welding, brazing and hardening, is showcasing two new innvovations in laser hardening at the Laser World of Photonics this year: its RLH-A laser processing optics and a new laser hardening process called CoHard.
Lasers for hardening steel surfaces can be used for high-precision hardening of the smallest structures. The new Scansonic RLH-A Rel. III laser optics offer increased precision compared to the earlier version.
