Laser Hardening is becoming the go-to process when it comes to hardening selective areas on tooling, operational components, and various other applications.
With this application, material was 8620 steel and we achieved a hardness of 45 HRC.
Some benefits of our Laser Hardening process:
– Ability to harden selective areas vs. hardening the entire workpiece.
– Built in Pyrometry, guarantees consistent temperature control at the workpiece for repeatable results.
– Precise energy input reduces distortion and risk of cracking.
– Capable of hardening finished components, reducing manufacturing cost.
– Case hardness up to .060″ depth.
