Thermal Effects Theory
Laser-induced thermal effects are governed by heat conduction equations. The temperature distribution depends on laser power, beam size, material properties, and interaction time.
Key Equations:
Power Density: I = P / (π · (d/2)²)
Temperature Rise: ΔT = (α · P) / (2π · k · r)
Thermal Diffusion Length: δ = √(4 · α · t)
Applications
- Laser Welding: Heat affected zone optimization
- Laser Cutting: Thermal damage minimization
- Surface Treatment: Temperature control
- Additive Manufacturing: Thermal modeling
- Medical Lasers: Tissue heating analysis
Safety Considerations
⚠️ High Temperature Warning
