Abstract
Different laser surface treatments are briefly summarised. The principles which govern the formation of microstructures are presented. Macroscopic aspects of heat flux, which determine the local growth conditions, are discussed together with the formation of microstructures. Special emphasis is placed upon the effects associated with rapid solidification. Finally, the concept of microstructure selection maps, necessary for any rational alloy and process development, is introduced.
