Laser-Induced Industrial Applications Laser technology, which stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation, is widely used in industrial applications for its precision, speed, and ability to focus on small areas.
Types of Lasers Used in Industry
Types of Lasers Used in Industry 1. Solid-State Lasers (e.g., Nd:YAG) - known for their high power output and material compatibility. 2. Gas Lasers (e.g., CO2 lasers) - commonly used for cutting and welding applications. 3. Fiber Lasers - known for their high efficiency and precision. 4. Diode Lasers - used in industries like telecommunications and healthcare.
Laser Cleaning Laser cleaning is a non-contact, eco-friendly process used to remove contaminants, coatings, and impurities from surfaces. It offers high precision and minimal material loss.
Laser Micromachining Laser micromachining involves using lasers to create micro-scale features on materials. Applications include micro-drilling, cutting, and surface texturing.
Laser Surface Treatment
Laser Surface Treatment Laser surface treatment is used to modify the surface properties of materials, improving hardness, wear resistance, and corrosion protection. Common techniques include laser alloying and laser hardening.
