Abstract
The effect of focused pulsed laser radiation (number of pulses and power density) on an amorphous FeSi6B16 metal film is studied. The states of the alloy before and after laser irradiation are analyzed using methods of atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and microhardness measurements. Focused laser radiation in any exposure mode is established to cause high-temperature heating of the surface of an amorphous alloy in the irradiation zone. The result of such heating is melting of the material surface and propagation of the heat wave front from the strongly heated surface to its inner layers, which induces the redistribution of elements in the Fe–Si–B system, a change in the structure, and an increase in the microhardness.
