Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on the governing equations for calculating surface temperature after laser radiation. Key parameters include thermal conductivity, thermal capacity, reflectivity, and emissivity of the irradiated material. Due to the temperature dependence of thermal conductivity and emissivity, analytical solutions are not readily available. Participants suggest exploring CNC machining forums for insights on laser irradiation responses specific to various materials.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of thermophysical properties such as thermal conductivity and emissivity.
  • Familiarity with laser characteristics including frequency and energy.
  • Knowledge of heat transfer principles in materials.

Hello,
I'm looking for the governing equations for the laser radiation on a surface. I understand there are several types and methods. I was wondering if there is an equation to show all the parameters in calculating a surface temperature after laser radiation for a specific time. Some of the parameters I can imagine are the thermophysical properties of the irradiated body and then the laser characteristics (e.g. frequency, energy).
Any advice would be appreciated.

Hello,

In general, necessary parameters of irradiated substrate are:
Thermal conductivity, thermal capacity, reflectivity and emissivity.
Because thermal conductivity and emissivity parameters have strong dependence on temperature, analytical solutions are unknown. You can search on CNC machining forums for laser irradiation response of specific materials - laser cutters are recently quite popular in DIY.
