Oberflächenbehandlung mit Laserstrahlung

The book deals with the basics of laser use for the refinement of metal surfaces and provides a deep understanding of the interrelationships. The machining processes in the solid and liquid phase as well as rapid prototyping are explained with examples. Diagrams of heat conduction are included, which allow a quick estimation and make complicated calculations unnecessary. The necessary equipment and system technologies are explained. The book is based on the use of high-power CO2 and Nd:YAG lasers. The book is written for practitioners, scientists and students, as both the basic correlations are presented and application examples allow a quick implementation in daily work.
