Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method of at least one of sintering, crystallization and/or crosslinking of a coating material ( 2 ) on a substrate ( 1 ) with laser radiation. The coating material ( 2 ) is scanned with a laser beam ( 8 ) along overlapping processing traces, said scanning being performed by moving the laser beam ( 8 ) with a first speed in a first direction while the substrate is moved with a second speed slower than the first speed relative to the laser beam ( 8 ) or vice versa in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The intensity of the laser beam ( 8 ), the first speed and a ratio of the first speed and the second speed are selected such that the overlap of the processing traces on the coating material ( 2 ) results in local peak temperatures of the coating material ( 2 ) above a threshold temperature ( 17 ) which are repeatedly reached within a time period ( 18 ). The peak temperatures and time period ( 18 ) are selected to achieve said sintering, crystallizing and/or crosslinking of the coating material. With the proposed method the thermal load on the substrate is substantially reduced compared to processes using continuous heating.

Claim (Index 6):
The method according to  claim 2 ,\n wherein the first speed is selected to be between 50 and 2500 m/s.
