“Lasers: A Diamond Coating’s Best Friend”
“The process directs laser energy at a subsrate to mobilize, vaporize and react with a primary element like carbon contained within the substrate. This modifies the composition of the carbon and diffuses it back into the substrate.
“As an adjunct to fabricating a coating, this creates a conversion zone immediately beneath the substrate, which transitions meallurgically from the composition of the coating being fabricated on the surface, or diffusion bonding.”
