Abstract Optical energy is particularly suitable for surface treatment. This form of energy is new to industry and laser surface treatment is a very active research area. This paper reviews the wide range of treatments currently being examined. They vary from surface heating to melting, alloying, cladding, texturing, plating, bending and stereolithography.
