Abstract
Surface melting, also termed as heterogeneous melting, is involved in many types of conventional and chemical laser processing. Among the examples are surface homogenization, planarization, microstructure refinement, glass formation, sealing of porous materials, alloying, some types of surface hardening, laser sintering, surface cladding, many types of engraving and marking, laser bending, laser welding, abrasive laser machining, some types of laser-chemical etching and deposition, and most types of laser doping and synthesis.
