Abstract

See full text

A method for laser-hardening a shaft for a vehicle includes applying laser light energy in a repeating pattern to a journal surface. The method further includes, responsive to the repeating pattern being applied completely around the shaft, applying laser light energy to the surface in a pattern different than the repeating pattern to form an overlap surface pattern that defines a tapered ramp having a corresponding hardness less than a hardness corresponding to the repeating pattern alone.
