Decarburization in Laser Surface Hardening of AISI 420 Martensitic Stainless Steel

Decarburization deteriorates the surface mechanical properties of steel. It refers to the loss of carbon from steel’s surface when exposed to an open-air environment in elevated-temperature conditions. Despite the short interaction time and fast thermal cycle of the laser surface-hardening process,...
