Laser polishing and structuring by laser remelting of 1.2379+

Abstract

The objective of this project is the development of laser polishing (micro laser polishing with pulsed laser radiation and macro laser polishing using cw laser radiation) and laser structuring by remelting process for 1.2379+ as well as the characterization of the produced surfaces via white light interferometry, tactile roughness measurements and spectral roughness analysis. The aim is not exclusively the development of parameters that lead to the smallest roughness or highest structures, but to analyze which wavelengths of the roughness spectrum are influenced by which process and corresponding process parameters.
