Austenitic 316L steel belongs to one of the most numerous groups of alloys with special properties. It is well-known for its most effective balance of carbon, chromium, nickel and molybdenum concentrations for corrosion resistance. However, under conditions of appreciable mechanical wear (adhesive or abrasive), this steel should be characterized by suitable wear protection. Diffusion boronizing and laser alloying with boron were often used in order to improve tribological properties of 316L steel. In this study, the method of laser alloying was modified in this way that alloying material contained the mixture of amorphous boron and Stellite-6 powders. The coated surface was remelted by the laser beam using TRUMPF TLF 2600 Turbo CO2 laser. After the laser alloying process, the composite surface layer was produced. Only two zones occurred in the laser-alloyed 316L steel: remelted zone and the substrate (base material). Heat-affected zone was invisible because the austenitic steel could not be hardened by typical heat treatment. The remelted zone consisted of hard ceramic phases (iron, chromium and nickel borides) in the soft austenitic matrix with the increased concentration of cobalt. Some properties of this layer were investigated and compared to the laser-alloyed layer with boron only. The produced layer was characterized by a compact microstructure which was free of cracks and gas pores. The layer was also uniform in respect of the thickness because of the high overlapping used during the laser treatment (86%). The obtained thickness was significantly higher than that obtained in case of diffusion boriding. In spite of the lower hardness of remelted zone, the increase in wear resistance of the proposed surface layer was observed in comparison with laser-alloyed 316L austenitic steel with boron only.

Stal 316L jest powszechnie stosowanym materiałem odpornym na korozję i żaroodpornym. Te korzystne właściwości zawdzięcza jednofazowej, austenitycznej mikrostrukturze i odpowiedniej zawartości węgla, chromu, niklu i molibdenu. To sprawia, że materiał ten jest stosowany często tam, gdzie jest spodziewane agresywne środowisko lub wysoka temperatura. Celem pracy było przeprowadzenie stopowania laserowego stali 316L z zastosowaniem materiału stopującego w postaci mieszaniny amorficznego boru i proszku Stellite-6. Bor amorficzny miał prowadzić do wytworzenia w strefie przetopionej twardych borków żelaza, chromu i niklu, podstawowych pierwiastków występujących w stali 316L. Dodatek kobaltu, głównego składnika proszku Stellite-6, miał powodować ograniczenie udziału borków w mikrostrukturze i sprzyjać jego odporności korozyjnej. Spodziewano się znacznego zwiększenia twardości oraz odporności na zużycie przez tarcie wytworzonej warstwy powierzchniowej w porównaniu ze stalą 316L nie poddaną żadnej obróbce.
