Process of providing a satin finished surface

摘要

The method involves exposing the polished surface of the material component locally to a pulse from a pulse laser having enough energy to cause local melting of the polished surface to form micro-craters (10). The laser pulses are repeated while simultaneously moving the material component relative to the pulse laser, to trace micro-furrows (12) on the polished surface. The micro-furrows are parallel and equidistant to each other and forms the satin finish surface.
