Thx for your post.
Using a laser to heat treat aluminium is part of the research program I am working on. I have to evaluate the feasibility of such a process. I need to heat treat a very local zone (10 mm) so maybe it could be an issue...
I've read that aluminium has a high reflexion rate...
Hi!
As anyone ever used a CO2 laser to heat-treat an Al-alloy?
I intend to do it on a 6056 Al-alloy, but for the moment I have no precise idea of the beam power (between 100 and 800W) I need, regarding to the relfexion rate of aluminium (if anyone know that I would be very happy!)
I hope you...
