Laser hardening of gear teeth using a powerful fibre laser

Abstract

Results of investigations into the possibilities of fibre lasers are presented and it is shown that these lasers can be used for superfast laser heat treatment of steels to a depth of up to 2 mm without melting the surface of the component.

Keywords:

• Laser radiation
• heat treatment
• laser radiation power
