| Description: | The proceedings of the 2nd Intl. Conference on Surface Engineering with High Energy Beams document well the use and applications of high energy laser, electron and ion beams, and demonstrate the great versatility of these techniques in generating new engineered surfaces for important engineering materials. The very high heating and cooling rates made possible by high energy beam heating produce very fine surface microstructures with enhanced properties. Either heating to accomplish highly localized solid state phase transformations or to accomplish melting and subsequent rapid solidification are possible with high energy beams. Completely new or metastable phases, in addition to highly refined microstructures, may be produced. Laser heating because of its versatility and ability to be used without special vacuum systems appears to be the dominant high energy source, but the other methods also have their current and potential applications. |
