Laser Melting of High Thermal Conductivity Steel (HTCS) Surface

This paper presents a laser melting of high thermal conductivity steel (HTCS) dies for surface properties modification due to die failures during operations. Sample were cut from as-received die without any defect or crack. Melting process was conducted using Nd:YAG laser system with pulse mode at 5...
