Abstract

Laser heat treatment and laser alloying are new surface hardening processes. The efficiency of laser surface treatment is due to the high energy flux density, locality of impact, and the possibility of contactless energy transfer to the processing area. As a result of Laser heat treatment and laser alloying, metals and alloys acquire high physical and mechanical properties in local volumes that are unattainable with traditional methods of hardening. Laser heat treatment and laser alloying are most widely used for parts that work under conditions of sliding friction, abrasive and erosive wear. At present, the principal possibility is shown and the technological basis for laser heat treatment and surface alloying of most steels is formulated.
