In this paper are presented the investigation results concerning microstructure as well as mechanical properties of the surface layer of cast aluminium-silicon-copper alloy after heat treatment alloyed and/ or remelted with SiC ceramic powder using High Power Diode Laser (HPDL). For investigation of the achieved structure following methods were used: light and scanning electron microscopy with EDS microanalysis as well as mechanical properties using Rockwell hardness tester were measured. By mind of scanning electron microscopy, using secondary electron detection was it possible to determine the distribution of ceramic SiC powder phase occurred in the alloy after laser treatment. After the laser surface treatment carried out on the previously heat treated aluminium alloys, in the structure are observed changes concerning the distribution and morphology of the alloy phases as well as the added ceramic powder, these features influence the hardness of the obtained layers. In the structure, there were discovered three zones: the remelting zone (RZ) the heat influence zone (HAZ) and transition zone, with different structure and properties. In this paper also the laser treatment conditions: the laser power and ceramic powder feed rate were investigated. The surface laser structure changes in a manner, that there zones are revealed in the form of. This carried out investigations make it possible to develop, interesting technology, which could be very attractive for different branches of industry.

Purpose: of this paper was focused on comparing the welding modes during laser welding of butt joints of titanium alloy Ti6Al4V sheets 1.5 and 2.0 mm thick with direct diode laser and Disk solid state laser. Design/methodology/approach: Bead-on-plate welds were produced at different parameters of laser welding, different welding speed, different output laser power resulted in different heat input of laser welding process. The test welds were investigated by visual test, metallographic observations including macro and microstructure analysis. Additionally mechanical test were carried out such as tensile tests and technological bending test of the joints. The influence of basic laser welding parameters on the penetration depth, shape of fusion zone, width of welds and width of heat affected zones were studied. Additionally the phenomena of laser heating and melting of the welded sheets were analyzed. Findings: It was found that the mechanism of HPDL laser welding of titanium alloy differs distinctly from the mechanism of Disk laser welding. The test welds produced by HPDL laser were high quality. Welds produced by the Disk laser are characterized by a columnar shape of fusion zones, very narrow with narrow and fine structure heat affected zone. Research limitations/implications: In further investigations of laser welding of titanium alloys applying the key-hole welding mode a special care must be taken to the shielding of the weld zone and protection the weld pool and weld metal against the harmful gases from air atmosphere. Practical implications: Results of investigations presented in this paper may be applied directly for welding high quality butt joints of titanium alloy with the HPDL laser. In a case of laser welding with the Disk laser practical application requires further study, especially concentrated on the effectiveness of gas protection of the welding area including the key-hole, weld pool and surrounding regions of metal. Originality/value: This paper describes results of investigation concerning laser welding of the most common used titanium alloy Ti6Al4V by two unique and modern lasers. The investigations were carried out using the high power diode laser with a rectangular laser beam spot and also using a new generation of Disk laser characterised very high power density of the laser beam spot.

The results of the investigations of the laser remelting of the AlSi9Cu4 cast aluminium alloy with the anodised and non-anodised surface layer and hardness changes have been presented in this paper. The surface layer of the tested aluminium samples was remelted with the laser of a continuous work. The power density was from 8,17•103 W/cm2 to 1,63•104 W/cm2. The metallographic tests were conducted in form of light microscope investigations of the received surface layer. The main goal of the investigation was to find the relation between the laser beam power and its power density falling on a material, evaluating the shape and geometry of the remelted layers and their hardness. As the substrate material two types of surfaces of the casted AlSi9Cu4 alloy were applied – the non–treated as cast surface as well the anodized surface. As a device for this type of surface laser treatment the High Power Diode Laser was applied with a maximum power of 2.2 kW and the dimensions of the laser beam focus of 1.8 x 6.8 mm. By mind of such treatment it is also possible to increase hardness as well eliminate porosity and develop metallurgical bonding at the coating-substrate interface. Suitable operating conditions for HPDL laser treatment were finally determined, ranging from 1.0 to 2.0 kW. Under such conditions, taking into account the absorption value, the effects of laser remelting on the surface shape and roughness were studied. The results show that surface roughness is reduced with increasing laser power by the remelting process only for the non-anodised samples, and high porosity can be found in the with high power remelted areas. The laser influence increases with the heat input of the laser processing as well with the anodisation of the surface, because of the absorption enhancement ensured through the obtained alumina layer.

Purpose: Purpose of these researches was to determine the influence of High Power Diode Laser (HPDL) powder surfacing parameters, material type and shape of the nozzle for powder feeding on the temperature field of the nozzle. Design/methodology/approach: Different materials for manufacturing of the nozzle for powder feeding during HPDL powder surfacing and different shapes of the nozzle were tested to establish the optimum shape and select the material that ensure lowest heating of the nozzle. Reflection coefficient of the infared laser radiation of 808 nm for the tested materials were determined as a function of a temperature. Temperature of the nozzle tip was measured and determined as a function of surfacing parameters. Life time of the different nozzles was determined. Findings: It was shown that the nozzle made of copper body and thin-walled tube made of austenitic stainless steel ensures much higher life time of the nozzle and also higher process efficiency compared with nozzle made of copper. Research limitations/implications: It was found that decreasing the distance from the nozzle tip of thin-walled tube made of austenitic stainless steel to the weld pool surface resulted in increasing of the process efficiency but too short distance is the reason of extensive heating of the nozzle. Originality/value: The optimized shape of the powder feeding nozzle made of thin-walled tube made of austenitic stainless steel guarantee unlimited lifetime of the nozzle and high surfacing efficiency over 95%.

Purpose: Improvement of surface properties of X38CrMoV5-3 is one of the goals set to the research institutions active in this paper. Design/methodology/approach: Remelting and alloying of surface layers were made using the HPDL high power diode laser Rofin DL 020 in the laser power range of 1.2-2.3 kW. Abrasion wear resistance tests were made in the metal-ceramic material arrangement (ASTM-G65), and also in the metal-metal one. Findings: All employed carbides cause hardness and microhardness increase of the surface layer of the investigated steel, and in most cases abrasion wear resistance increase. The investigations carried out indicate that the best mechanical properties are displayed by the surface layers of steel alloyed with carbides: TaC, NbC, and VC; whereas, the best tribological properties are displayed by surface layers allowed with vanadium carbide, compared to the conventionally heat treated steel. Improvement of mechanical properties and abrasion wear resistance grow with the increase of the laser power. Research limitations/implications: The material behavior for the HPDL processing has been found to be different from the other high-power lasers in the following aspects: fewer cracks and less spallation for surface glazing/sealing, more uniform melt/heating zones, smoother surface, better beam absorption for metallic materials, more consistent and repeatable. Practical implications: The research results indicate to the feasibility and purposefulness of the practical use of remelting and alloying with the tungsten carbide using the high power diode laser for manufacturing and regeneration of various tools from the X38CrMoV5-3 hot-work tool steel. Originality/value: Possibilities of increasing the functional properties of hot-work alloy tool steels by modification of their chemical composition additional of ceramic particles in a conventional way are very limited already.
