Abstract

The features of alloying the surface of Hardox 600 steel using WC, B4C and Ni(Cr) powders based on exposure
to ytterbium fiber laser radiation have been studied. A study of the quality and surface layers structure, their geometric
dimensions has been carried out. The modes of laser exposure on steel have been selected depending on the radiation
power density installation, the laser spot diameter and the linear speeds of beam movement. It is shown that the laser
alloying process is critical to the processing modes. With a laser radiation power of ~ 2 kW, high-quality doped layers
can be observed more stably throughout the entire energy range of laser beam exposure. With increasing depth of the
alloyed layers when using B4C, the microhardness decreases, which is caused by the decrease in the of introduced
alloying elements concentration. The microhardness of such layers can vary in the range of 7,300…16,000 MPa.
