Novel improvement glazing depth measurement model for concrete surface treated by CO2 laser

The empirical glazing surface of concrete samples using (25-100) watt power CO2 laser workstation shows inaccuracy of results matching within the existing calculated model results that cannot be ignored even in low laser power supplied. Thus, in this paper, a new empirical glazing model (IDGM) for glazing depth measurement is derived and verified. The validation process of the proposed model for transvers speed (1, 2, and 3 mm/sec) shows that the real time measured values agree with those from the proposed models to within approximately 96%. In addition, it offers the capability to estimate the glazing depth for a wide range of predefined laser power intensity. In addition this model barring costly experimental validation studies, low cost solution and less power consumption.
