Laser heat treatment offers localized heating zone, high processing speed, and feasibility to
treat complex large parts, making it a technology of choice to tailor the hardness and fatigue …

The surface of steel molds used in injection molding must be particularly hard to withstand
abrasive fiber-reinforced plastics. Thus, a laser nitriding process using a gas chamber setup …

This paper presents information and results relevant for the development of a laser heat
treatment process suitable to improve manufacturing in high strength steel and high strength …

In this research, a cold-rolled twinning induced plasticity (TWIP) sample with three parallel
regions with the same gage length of 20 mm but increasing gage widths of 2, 3.5, and 5 mm …

The surface hardening and softening behavior of two types of medium carbon martensitic
steel (AISI P20-improved and AISI P21) after laser-assisted heat treatment was quantitatively …

Press Hardening offers the possibility to obtain a wide range of mechanical properties
through microstructural tailoring. This strategy has been successfully applied in thin sheet …

The effect of a laser tempering process, subsequent to a laser hardening treatment, on the
microstructure, microhardness, structural composition of phases and residual stresses of a …

The partial strengthening method for pre-stamped panels both avoids excessive strength
enhancement over the entire product and substantially reduces the processing cost …

The concept of a novel hybrid process which includes local heat treatmentfor springback
reduction in deep drawingof AHSS is presented. In order to demonstrate the feasibility of this …

In the paper we discuss new tendencies and trends in laser/nanotechnologies based on
topological material-science with spatial structures of necessary types induced by laser …
