Heat Affected Zone from Laser - Heat Treat Response
Heat Affected Zone from Laser - Heat Treat Response
(OP)
I am going to have some prototype parts laser cut from .125 " thk 4130 sheet. After cutting the parts will be heat treated to 48-50 HRC.
Is there anything I should be concerned with in reference to the heat affected zone from laser cutting after heat treat?
I am pretty sure it will not be an issue but with this part it's the periphery that carries the loads and where wear occurs.
TIA
