Abstract

PURPOSE:To harden small parts satisfactorily by injecting a fluid medium to the part of a member to be hardened which is irradiated with a laser light immediately after passage of said irradiated part. CONSTITUTION:For example, a pin 11 is mounted to a rotary mover 12, and the pin 11 is rotated by the command of a control device 13; at the same time, a laser light 16b is irradiated from a laser oscillator 15 to the pin 11. Since the pin 11 is under rotation, an irradiated part 11a is cooled and hardened with the fluid medium 21 injected from a nozzle 20 disposed with a nozzle 20a near the part 11a right after the irradiation. An inert gas such as gaseous N2, gaseous Ar or the like or a liquid medium such as water, oil or the like is used for the medium 21.
