Laser

-Driven Shock Processing Laser-driven shock processing is a novel technique for quickly altering the microstructure and properties of materials. It involves generating high-pressure shocks within the material through the precise delivery of short laser pulses. This process enables the precise and local control of changes to material properties. Laser-driven shock processing can be used to improve materials performance, such as fatigue strength and corrosion resistance, and to tailor materials properties to specific applications. It is also used in high-value manufacturing contexts, such as hardening engine components or reshaping parts to improve fit and performance.
