The paper evaluates laser surface melting treatment for rejuvenation of inter-granular corrosion damaged type 304 stainless steel. Surface melting of inter-granular corrosion damaged specimens with CW CO2 and pulsed Nd:YAG lasers was quite effective in sealing surface damage. However, inter-granular corrosion susceptibility of laser-rejuvenated surface was strongly influenced by associated thermal exposure. With respect to CW CO2 laser, pulsed Nd:YAG laser-rejuvenated surface demonstrated significantly suppressed micro-structural damage and IGC-susceptibility. Compact pulsed Nd:YAG laser, with flexible beam transportation, presents an effective tool for in-situ rejuvenation of inter-granular corrosion damaged in-service stainless steel components operating in susceptible environments.
