Abstract Studies of the effect of lasers on metals have shown that the action of intense light beams leads to the formation of craters on metal surfaces. A considerable increase in hardness is often observed in the region of such craters; the hardness of low-carbon steels may reach 700 kg/mm2, which is considerably higher than that produced by other heat and mechanical treatments.
