WHY LASER HEAT TREAT?

LASER HEAT TREATING VS. CONVENTIONAL PROCESSES

Laser heat treating is ideal when distortion is a critical factor in the manufacturing process. Laser heat treating results in minimal to no distortion, there by reducing the requirement for post machining or straightening operations.

Laser Heat Treating Induction Heat Treating Flame Heat Treating
Material Hardness Max Hardness High-Max Hardness Med-High Hardness
Typical Hardness Depth Up to 0.080″ (1-2 mm) Up to 0.120″ (3 mm) Up to 0.120″ (3 mm)
Hardness consistency +/-  1 HRC +/-  5 HRC +/-  10 HRC
Post machining /Straightening unlikely likely highly likely
Cost Medium Medium-low Low
