摘要
Laser surface alloying is a new and promising technique for generating surface alloys having a wide range of favourable properties. The process involves altering the surfaces of inexpensive substrates by adding small quantities of alloying elements to a pool of molten metal produced by local melting using the intense heat of a laser. Certain defects such as cracks, porosity, surface roughness, compositional inhomogeneity, and excessive dilution have been observed during laser alloying (pulsed Nd:YAG laser) with chromium on mild steel, and with molybdenum and Ni-Mo on stainless steel. Specific deterioration in surface properties has been observed and discussed and the techniques utilised to control such defects have been outlined. (C) 1999 IoM Communications Ltd.
