Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for establishing residual stresses in objects, in particular in coated objects, and to a method and an apparatus for coating objects. The method comprises: impinging a surface ( 8 ) of the object ( 5 ) with laser light and generating a hole or a pattern of holes and/or locally heated points in the object ( 5 ); establishing the surface deformations by an optical deforming measuring method after the object ( 5 ) is impinged by laser light; establishing the residual stresses present in the object ( 5 ) from the measured surface deformations, wherein the generation of the hole pattern is carried out by an optical scanning apparatus which comprises an optical deflection and/or modulation arrangement for controllable deflection and/or modulation of the laser light, and/or a focusing arrangement for controllable focusing of the laser light.

Claim (Index 11):
The device of  claim 8 , wherein the optical scanning device is further programmed and adapted to generate at least one of:\n a pattern with a plurality of lines, wherein the plurality of lines are at least approximately perpendicular to a direction of the largest local curvature of the surface of the object, a pattern comprising at least one spiral, a circle, or a plurality of concentric circles, wherein the center of the spiral, the center of the circle, or the center of the concentric circles is positioned at the location of the largest local curvature of the surface of the object, or a pattern comprising at least one of a line, a line grid, a rosette, a matrix, a slit, or a cross.
