Technology
Laser beam hardening is a well known process. If conventional hardening
technologies are not suitable because of certain geometric shapes, material
and wear conditions, laser beam hardening can be ideal for produce wear-resistant
parts with an increase in service life. It is a self quenching process
which requires not additional process.
Fraunhofer CCL offers among other things several software solutions for
the optimization of treatment parameters, laser work stations and complete
solutions for the protection of turbine blades.

Principle and Advantages of Laser Beam Hardening
Applications
Laser beam hardening is used in several industrial applications with
a variety of heat treatable materials. This technology is especially suitable
for selective hardening of multidimensional faces, inner or hard to reach
surfaces, sharp edge steps, bores and grooves, as well as for low distortion
hardening.
