Heat Transfer in the Formation of Thermoelastic and Thermoelectric Responses of Metals to Laser Pulse Action

Resumo

We analyze the effect of heat transfer in metals on parameters of the thermoelastic and thermoelectric responses of metals to a pulsed laser action. It is shown that two-stage analysis of the dynamic problem of thermoelasticity and the thermoelectric effect makes it possible to obtain an adequate description of experimental results. The results described here demonstrate a considerable dependence of the response parameters on the microstructure, which indicates the possibility of development of a high-efficiency method of nondestructive control of metal quality.
