Melting is encountered in almost all laser materials processing. This article deals with a one-
dimensional heat conduction problem to investigate the melting rate during laser materials …

Laser heating of a two-layer system is studied using the Laplace integral transform method.
Expressions for the temperature profiles in the thin film and the substrate are obtained. The …

Modification of surfaces by laser heating has become a very important aspect of modern
materials science. The author's own interests in laser processing have been involved in the …

Individual slabs of different types are used to form composites with either 2-or 3-layer of
various stacking sequences so as to examine whether stacking order has any influence on …

Laser heating and melting is studied considering the laser‐induced reflectivity variations R
(τ). The study is made for time intervals less than or equal to the transit time using the Fourier …

THIS REVIEW surveys papers that have been published in the literature during 1986
covering various fields of heat transfer. The literature search was made very inclusive …

Laser heating and melting are studied considering the laser‐induced reflectivity variations R
(τ). The study is made for time intervals greater than the transit time τ s using the Fourier …

The principal techniques for pattern formation in photochemical etching are:(i) image
projection;(ii) contact or proximity masking;(iii) direct writing;(iv) optical (holographic) …

Thermal spray processes have emerged as a versatile technology for producing a wide
variety of coatings from metals, ceramics, plastics, and mixtures of these materials for …

The aim of the present book is to survey the new developments in the field of strong laser
beam-solid interactions, which encompasse a large group of physical phenomena …
