A proper selection of the pulse parameters is essential to achieve desired temperature at the material surface. This leads to obtain the required metallurgical changes in the surface vicinity when a time-varying laser pulse is used in a heating process such as surface modification. In this paper, the conjugate gradient method (CGM) for parameter estimation is successfully applied to estimate the unknown laser pulse parameters for those purposes during laser heating process. The determination of the pulse parameters is treated as a one-dimensional, transient, non-linear inverse heat conduction problem (IHCP). Based on a sensitivity analysis, the inverse problem is solved as an optimization problem comparing a desired temperature at the surface and a calculated one where the objective function is minimized by CGM. The method has been applied to a test case of a heating process on steel, appropriate pulse parameters and desired temperature distribution can also be returned.
► A time-varying laser pulse is used in a heating process such as surface modification.
► It is proved that pulse parameters have considerable effect on the process.
► We use CGM to estimate the parameters and achieve desired temperature at the surface.
► This problem is an ill posed non-linear inverse heat conduction problem.
► Applying sensitivity analysis, we reach more accuracy and less computational time.
