Reactive antireflective coatings for laser treatment of steels.

In the paper experiments have been performed to find out composition of the coatings producing exothermic reaction in them under the influence of laser beam counteracting the change of steel composition and radiation of heat. The coatings are based on iron oxides mixed with carbon or metal powders of high reductive properties (silicon, magnesium, aluminium). The results have shown, that the coatings ensured high conductivity and absorptivity of heat and in many cases their neutral behaviour on heated surface has been stated.
