Our latest article, featured in the August 2024 Heat Treat Today magazine issue, explores the revolutionary impact of laser hardening on the automotive industry. Laser hardening is transforming the automotive industry by applying high-energy lasers to precisely heat metal surfaces, resulting in rapid and accurate hardening. This method minimizes distortion and eliminates the need for costly post-treatment processes like hard milling or grinding, potentially reducing manufacturing costs by up to 20%. The technique ensures consistent hardness and durability, making it ideal for critical components such as automotive dies and gears. Real-world case studies demonstrate its effectiveness in maintaining precision and reducing production time.
