Laser hardening is a modern heat treatment method used to make metal surfaces harder and more durable. It works by focusing a powerful laser beam on the surface of a part, heating it quickly and allowing it to cool naturally. This process strengthens the outer layer without changing the internal properties of the material. It is a great way to improve the wear resistance of parts such as automotive components, gears and cutting tools helping them last longer.
This hardening process is highly precise, allowing the laser beam to target specific areas without affecting the rest of the part. It is suitable for parts with detailed shapes or complex designs as it results in minimal distortion. The consistent quality of surface hardening makes it a reliable solution for industries such as automotive, aerospace and manufacturing, where strong, durable components are required.
An advantage of this heat treatment process is its efficiency. It hardens only the areas that need to be strengthened, saving time and material. Since the surface cools naturally, there is no need for an additional cooling system. This makes laser hardening an environmentally friendly and cost-effective option for businesses.
