Sp. Malyshenko et Oi. Osipov, SPECIAL FEATURES OF THERMOGRAMS AND THRESHOLD EFFECTS UNDER CONDITIONS OF LOCALIZED INDUCED LASER COMBUSTION OF ABSORBING COATINGS, High temperature, 35(1), 1997, pp. 104-110
Experimental investigation is performed of special features observed d
uring heating and cooling of metal surfaces with active absorbing coat
ings under the effect of CO2-laser radiation in the continuous and sca
nning modes. Threshold values are determined of the coating thickness,
laser radiation power, and surface temperature that correspond to loc
alized combustion of coating with substantial heat release into the su
rface layer of metal.
