Purpose: The goal of this study was to investigate effects of laser surface alloying with Si3N4 powder on the microstructural changes and properties of vacuum sintered stainless steels, both austenitic X2CrNi17-12-2, ferritic X6Cr13 and duplex X2CrNiMo22-8-2. Design/methodology/approach: High power diode laser (HPDL) was applied to surface modification of sintered stainless steels with Si3N4 powder. The influence of laser alloying conditions on the width, penetration depth of alloyed surface layer were studied and analysed via FEM simulation. The microstructure of alloyed layers was examined using light and scanning electron microscopy as well as X-ray diffraction. The microhardness and wear resistance of studied surface layers were also evaluated. Findings: The hardness increased with addition of Si3N4 due to strong solution hardening effect of nitrogen and silicon that dissolved in the steel matrix during laser alloying. The strong austenite stabilizer effect of nitrogen was observed in ferritic stainless steel that revealed duplex microstructure. The hardness increased with addition of Si3N4 due to strong solution hardening effect of nitrogen and silicon dissolved in the steel matrix during laser alloying. The hardening effect of Si3N4 was strongest in case of ferritic stainless steel where microhardness increased to 450 HV0.1 for 2.1 kW of laser beam power. The duplex stainless steel shows the regular microhardness on the whole penetration depth. Laser surface alloying with Si3N4 improved wear resistance of sintered stainless steels compared to not processed stainless steel as well as comparing layers prepared as machined grooves and surface with pre-coated paste. Practical implications: Laser surface alloying with Si3N4 powder can be an efficient method of surface layer hardening of sintered stainless steels and produce improvement of surface layer properties in terms of hardness and wear resistance. Moreover, application of high power diode laser HPDL and surface prepared as machined grooves can guarantee uniform heating of treated surface, thus uniform thermal cycle across processed area and uniform penetration depth of alloyed surface layer. Originality/value: Application of high power diode laser can guarantee uniform heating of treated surface, thus uniform thermal cycle across processed area and uniform penetration depth of alloyed surface layer.
