Abstract

Laser surface treatment was applied to a Ti-added interstitial-free steel by linear-scanning. The distance between each linear scan was 1.5 mm and the width of the laser-modified zone for each scan was 1 mm. These process parameters result in a heterogeneous surface, containing hard laser-modified lamella separated by non-treated material. It is found that after the treatment, higher strength and good ductility can be obtained. Electron channelling contrast imaging was used to investigate the structure of the sample, which was then compared with the untreated one to reveal the origin of the improved mechanical behaviour of the laser surface-treated steel.
