Laser Surface Modification of AISI 1025 Low Carbon Steel using Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser for Enhanced Surface Properties

This paper presents laser surface modification of AISI 1025 low carbon steel for enhance surface hardness properties. An Nd:YAG laser system with pulse mode was used in order to modify 10 mm thick plate surface. Three controlled parameters were laser power, pulse duration and overlap percentage whic...
