ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for hardening discrete identical elements, connected to a supporting structure and regularly spaced, by which a laser beam is focused upon the elements as they travel along a path through a hollow sphere containing a mirror on its inside surface. The light reflected by the elements is reflected by the mirror to strike the opposite side of the elements. This process optimizes the radiant energy directed to the elements and produces quick, uniform, well-delineated hardening substantially without a hardness gradient.
