Laser hardening is not practically applied for thin workpieces due to difficulty of quick cooling. In this report, steel foils are successfully hardened by laser irradiation through fixing them on an aluminum base. A laser mark formed by a single laser shot shows circular hardened area and dimpled profile. Dot and space patterning by laser scanning sometimes shows braking of laser marks. This might be caused by laser deformation near preliminary hardened area.
