Laser alloying
A material processing method which utilises the high power density available from focused laser sources to melt metal coatings and a portion of the underlying substrate. Since the melting occurs in a very short time and only at the surface, the bulk of the material remains cool, thus serving as an intimate heat sink. Large temperature gradients exist across the boundary between the melted surface region and the underlying solid substrate. The result is rapid self-quenching and resolidification.
