The effect of laser surface treatment on structure and mechanical properties aluminium Alloy enac-AlMg9 In this work, the influence of a high power diode laser surface treatment on the structure and properties of aluminium alloy has been determined. The aim of this study was to improve the mechanical and tribological properties of the surface layer of the aluminium alloy by simultaneously melting and feeding tungsten carbide particles into the molten pool. During the process was used high-power diode laser HPDL. In order to remelt the aluminium alloy surface the HPDL laser of 1.8, 2.0 and 2.2 kW laser beam power has been used. The linear laser scan rate of the beam was set 0.5 em's. In order to protect the liquid metal during laser treatment was used argon. As a base material was used aluminium alloy ENAC -AlMg9. To improve the surface mechanical and wear properties of the applied aluminium alloy was used biphasic tungsten carbide WC/W2C. The size of alloying powder was in the range 110-210 μm. The ceramic powder was introduced in the remelting zone by a gravity feeder at a constant rate of 8 g/m.

Purpose: In this paper the result of laser surface feeding or remelting is discussed. The remelted layers which were formed on the surface of the investigated hot work steel were examined and analyzed metallographically and analyzed using a hardness testing machine. The resistance research has been done on the CSM Instruments. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper the results of laser treatment techniques applied in metal surface technology are presented and discussed. There is presented laser treatment with feeding or remelting of hot work tool steel X40CrMoV5-1 with ceramic powders especially - Al2O3 and Si3N4, as well as results of laser remelting influence on structure and properties of the surface of the hot work steel, carried out using the high power diode laser (HPDL). Findings: On the basis of the wear abrasion tests carried out on hot work tool steel it could be found that each of those specimens is characterized by different resistance for the same powders and the power of the laser beam. The metallographic investigations on light microscope show that during feeding or remelting the hot work tool steel with the ceramic powder layer in the whole range of the laser power values used 1.2-2.3 kW the obtained bead face is characteristic of the high roughness, multiple pores, irregularity. Practical implications: The resistance to abrasive wear is a practical aim of this work as well as improvement of hardness as a very important properties for practical use. It is necessary to continue the research to determine feeding or remelting parameters for demanded properties of hot work tool steels surface layers. Originality/value: Laser feeding or remelting by using HPDL laser (High Power Diode Laser) and selected ceramic powders can be very attractive for industries.
