PMMA (Polymethylmethacrylate), as one plastic material with pretty well corrosion resistance, is widely used and investigated both from theoretical and engineering aspects. When quantum generators in visible range were invented in microwave range (in 6th decade of the last century), they were called ‘’a solution looking for a problem’’. Lasers are now ubiquitous, with compact disk players and eye surgery vying as the most familiar applications. Interaction of lasers in various working regimes and wavelengths with PMMA material were for a long time the object of investigation. In presented paper experimental part of investigation was done as well as simulations of temperature distribution.
Specific attention is paid to microstructure of damaged surfaces quantitatively analyzed by image processing programs. Heat treating with lasers allows selective surface hardening against wear with little or no distortion of the component. Because this eliminates much part reworking that is currently done, the laser system's capital cost is recovered in a short time. One consideration crucial to the success of a heat treatment operation is control of the laser beam irradiance on the treated surface. The optimal irradiance distribution is driven by the thermodynamics of the laser-material interaction and by the sample/component geometry. Typically, irradiances between 500-5000 W/cm2 satisfy the thermodynamic constraints and allow the rapid surface heating and minimal total heat input required.
