Abstract: Presents a study which examined surface relief stability in the laser melting of materials with relatively high thermal diffusivity and/or relatively high absorption coefficient. Correlation between thermal material processing by laser and surface structure formation; Details on the long pulse irraditation of the materials; Overview of short pulse irradiation on the surface relief.
