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 8):
A device for determining residual stresses of an object, the device comprising:\n a laser exposure system comprising:\n at least a first laser; and \n an optical scanning device to apply laser light to a surface of the object and to produce at least one of a hole, a pattern of holes, or a pattern of locally heated points in the object, wherein the optical scanning device comprises:\n an optical deflection and/or modulation arrangement to controllably modulate the laser light; or \n a focusing arrangement to controllably focus the laser light; and \n \n an optical measuring system that determines a deformation of the surface of the object.
