What is Surface Treatment with Linearly Polarized Laser Beam at Oblique Incidence about?

An e ective method for surface heat treatment with 10:6 m linear polarized laser beam at oblique incidence is reported. A circular focused laser spot on the workpiece surface, simultaneously with 2.2-4 times increasing of the absorption are obtained in the 70 -80 • range of the incidence angle. The main element of the experimental setup is the astigmatic focusing head which focalize the laser beam into an elliptical spot of ellipticity ¿ 3 at normal incidence. At a proper incidence angle (obtained by the focusing head tilting) the focused laser spot on the work piece surface gets a circular form and p-state of polarization is achieved. We performed laser heat treatment (transformation hardening, surface remelting) of the uncoated surface, as well as the alloying and cladding processes by powder injection. An enhancement of the processing e ciency was obtained; in this way the investment and operation costs for surface treatment with CO2 laser can be signiÿcantly reduced. Several technical advantages concerning the pollution of the focusing optical components, powder jet owing and re ected radiation by the work piece surface are obtained.
