Laser Heat Treat

In addition to laser drilling and welding, LAI is proud to offer heat treatment services from our laser job shop. Laser heat treating allows metal to maintain ductility while improving the wear properties of specific areas. After laser machining, the laser transformation hardening process produces a fine martensite grain structure. Precise depth and coverage is controlled by PLC or CNC positioning techniques and beam integration and shaping. A surface coating is added to control and maintain beam absorption for consistent results.

LAI's two 5,000 watt CO2 lasers offer .080" case depths to Rc 60+ in medium carbon steels, such as 4140, achieving greater hardness and less distortion than induction heat treating processes. We can focus the beam between 1/4" and 1" wide to customize the process and selectively harden the wear surfaces.

An LAI East Laser Technician removes a completed part from an automatic shuttle table on a laser heat treat station. The laser heat treats roller components for heavy machinery tracks.
