Today I will introduce to you: Local hardening technology for hardware parts--laser quenching
Laser quenching is a quenching technology that uses laser to heat the surface of metal materials to above the phase transition point. As the metal material cools itself, austenite transforms into martensite, thereby hardening the surface of the material. It has high heating and cooling speeds, short process cycles, and does not require external quenching media. It has unique advantages such as small workpiece deformation, clean working environment, no need for finishing such as grinding after treatment, and the size of the processed gear is not limited by the size of the heat treatment equipment.

Laser quenching technology is widely used in mechanical processing industry, petrochemical industry, medical industry, aerospace industry, automobile parts manufacturing factory, etc. It can be used to strengthen the surface of various guide rails, large gears, journals, cylinder inner walls, injection molds, friction wheels, rollers, and roller parts. Applicable materials are medium and high carbon steel and cast iron.
Laser quenching has high power density, fast cooling speed, and does not require cooling media such as water or oil. Compared with induction quenching, flame quenching, and carburizing quenching processes, laser quenching has a uniform hardened layer, high hardness (generally 1-3HRC higher than induction quenching), small deformation of the workpiece, and easy control of the heating layer depth and heating trajectory. It is particularly important that the deformation of hardware parts before and after laser quenching is almost negligible, so it is particularly suitable for the surface treatment of customized metal parts with high precision requirements. The depth of the laser hardened layer is generally between 0.3 and 2.0 mm, depending on the composition, size and shape of the customized parts and the laser process parameters. The surface roughness of the tooth surface of large gears and the journal of large shaft metal parts is basically unchanged when quenching, and the demand can be met without subsequent machining.
Practical cases of laser quenching in industrial applications
1. Automotive parts manufacturing
In automotive parts manufacturing companies, laser quenching technology is used to improve the wear resistance and fatigue strength of engine piston rings, gears and other key components.
(The hardness of laser-quenched cast iron engine cylinders is increased from HB230 to HB680, and the service life is increased by 2 to 3 times.)
2. Aerospace field
The aerospace field has extremely high requirements for material performance. Laser quenching technology is used to improve the hardness and corrosion resistance of components such as turbine blades and bearings.
3. Precision CNC machining
In precision CNC machining, laser quenching technology is used to improve the cutting performance and service life of tools such as cutting tools and injection molds.
4. Medical device manufacturing
In medical device manufacturing, laser quenching technology is used to improve the surface hardness and biocompatibility of products such as surgical blades and implants.
