💡 The "Heat Affected Zone" (HAZ) is the critical area where the material's properties change without melting, and minimizing this is the goal of most laser theory. The process begins when a laser beam strikes

Driven by Marangoni flow (surface tension gradients). The Theory of Laser Materials Processing: Heat ...

Used to predict the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) size. 🌊 Phase Changes and Fluid Dynamics

Determines how fast heat "spreads" relative to the melting point.

The theory of laser materials processing centers on the conversion of coherent light into thermal energy. This interaction involves complex heat transfer mechanisms that determine the quality, depth, and microstructure of the processed material. ⚡ Energy Absorption and Surface Interaction
