...: The Theory Of Laser Materials Processing: Heat

Vaporization exerts force on the liquid, often causing "spatter." 🛠️ Process Regimes

At high intensities, ionized gas can block the beam from reaching the target. 🔥 Heat Conduction and Temperature Distribution The Theory of Laser Materials Processing: Heat ...

Once absorbed, energy moves through the material primarily via conduction. Vaporization exerts force on the liquid, often causing

Used to predict the Heat Affected Zone (HAZ) size. 🌊 Phase Changes and Fluid Dynamics Vaporization exerts force on the liquid

Highly dependent on wavelength, surface roughness, and temperature.

Driven by Marangoni flow (surface tension gradients).
