What is Laser Nitriding of Metals about?

**Article. Progress in Materials Science 47 (2002) 1-161**Abstract:Laser nitriding can be described as the irradiation of metal surfaces by short laser pulses in nitrogen containing atmospheres. This may lead to a strong take-up of nitrogen into the metal and nitride formation which can improve the metal's surface properties, e.g. the hardness or the corrosion and wear resistance. Here, the laser nitriding of iron, carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum was investigated employing a combination of complementary methods. Ion beam analysis (Rutherford Backscattering Spectroscopy and Resonant Nuclear Reaction Analysis) was employed for element and isotope profiling. Mossbauer spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction were used for phase analysis. Surface profilometry, optical and electron microscopy revealed the surface topography and morphology obtained after laser nitriding. Microhardness measurements by the nanoindentation technique characterized the mechanical surface properties obtained by the treatment. By this combination of methods it became possible to resolve the influence of the treatment parameters (laser fluence, number of pulses, spot size, spatial intensity distribution, a
