Optimization of Process Parameters for the Laser Polishing of Hardened Tool Steel

In mold making, the mold surface roughness directly affects the surface roughness of the produced part. To achieve surface roughness below 0.8 μm, the cost of surface finish is high and time-consuming. One alternative to the different grinding and polishing steps is laser polishing (LP). This study...
