Abstract
Abstract In this study, the surface of H13 steel was treated using laser surface remelting. Some important characteristics of the treated zone (biomimetic strengthening units) were investigated, e.g. size, cross-sectional morphology, microstructure and hardness as functions of average peak power density and effective peak power density. The results indicate that different combinations of average peak power density and effective peak power density could vary the appearance of cross-sectional morphology, microstructure and hardness. An appropriate range of EPPD for preparing the treated zone was acquired: 595–1448 W/mm2. In this range, the depth/width ratio of 0.31–0.47 and microhardness of 559–667 HV were obtained.
