Abstract: The physical phenomenon of the annular hollow laser surface treatment process is complex, and the internal mechanism involves multiple disciplines and fields. In addition to the general parameters of laser beams, such as laser power and scanning speed, an annular hollow laser beam exhibits unique physical characteristics, including hollow ratio and hollow area. The selection of the inner and outer annular radii of the laser plays a critical role in the study of metal surface heat treatment. From the point of view of heat transfer, the entransy dissipation theory is introduced in the metal surface treatment process with an annular hollow heat source. Firstly, using the principle of the extreme value of the entransy dissipation rate, under a constant heat flux boundary condition, the entransy dissipation rate is obtained through the temperature field distribution in the calculation area by numerical simulation. Secondly, the selection of the inner and outer ring radii of the annular laser is explored, and the average temperature difference of the heating surface is minimized to reduce the thermal stresses of the material. This paper seeks new insights into the geometric parameters of the inner and outer radii of the annular heat source.
