Which outcome occurs when a high-power pulsed laser ablates steel?

💡 Explanation

Plasma formation and material ejection occur due to rapid heating and ionization; this is caused by inverse Bremsstrahlung absorption. An ablation process involves rapid surface vaporization, producing plasma, therefore material is ejected, rather than deeper martensitic transformation or bulk heating effects.
