Conclusions
-
1.
A laser beam creates a crater on carbon and alloyed steels. The crater is surrounded by zones with a small needle structure: zone 1 has a hardness as high as 1400; zone II contains grains of an unetchable white component
-
2.
The laser beam produces extraordinarily quick heating and cooling of the material; the purely deformational effects are of little importance.
