Abstract
As emphasized by many of the contributions to this volume, there is an important and growing technology in laser processing of metals. The more developed aspects of this technology include applications such as cutting, machining, welding, surface hardening, surface alloying, etc. These applications use primarily high-power cw lasers. In contrast, the technology for pulsed laser-metal interactions for laser pulse widths in the nanosecond or shorter time regime is not as well developed; however, studies in this time regime are providing important insight into the processes that control metastable and amorphous phase formation of importance for certain applications. Selected activities in this area will be reviewed in the present paper. When appropriate, systems produced by pulsed surface melting will be compared to related systems produced by ion implantation.
