Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Did anyone else notice the announcement of a new technology whereby they bombard a piece of metal with laser pulses and it makes it up to ten times harder.They intend to apply this technology to jet engines.I have been wondering if this technology would be beneficial for resurfacing and other medical devices.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 HI, Well I doubt most of us would have a chance of wearing out the prothesis as now made, let along want it around for more years.......... It is the bones that we want to be able to laser pulse and make 10 times harder to get some advantage I suspect..............smile. Only advantage may be that softer metals, that may give off less ions etc, could be used perhaps.............
