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: The structure and the properties of casting magnesium alloy EN-MCMgAl3Zn1, EN-MCMgAl6Zn1, EN-MCMgAl9Zn1 and EN-MCMgAl12Zn1 after laser surface treatment are presented in this paper. The aim of this work was to improve the surface layer cast magnesium Mg-Al-Zn by melting and feeding of TiC particle on the surface. The purpose of this work was to determine the laser treatment parameter. Design/methodology/approach: The experiments were performed using high power diode laser. The laser treatment of an EN-MCMgAl3Zn1, EN-MCMgAl6Zn1, EN-MCMgAl9Zn1, EN-MCMgAl12Zn1 magnesium alloy with alloying TiC powders was carried out using a high power diode laser (HPDL). The resulting microstructure in the modified surface layer was examinated using scanning electron microscopy. Phase composition was determined by the X-ray diffraction method using the XPert device. The measurements of hardness of the modified surface layer was also studied. Findings: The alloyed region has a fine microstructure with hard carbide particles. Hardness of laser surface alloyed layer with TiC particles was significantly improved as compared to alloy without laser treatment for EN-MCMgAl3Zn1 and EN-MCMgAl6Zn1 alloys. Research limitations/implications: In this research one powder - TiC was used with the particle size over 6 µm.

Purpose: The goal of this work was to investigate influence of laser treatment on structure and properties MCMgAl3Zn1, MCMgAl6Zn1, MCMgAl9Zn1 and MCMgAl12Zn1 cast magnesium alloys. Design/methodology/approach: Tests were made on the experimental MCMgAl3Zn1 MCMgAl6Zn1 MCMgAl9Zn1 and MCMgAl12Zn1 casting magnesium alloys. Laser treatment was made using the Rofin DL020 HPDL high power diode laser in the argon shield gas cover with the technique of the continuous powder supply to the remelted pool area. Findings: Investigations of the surface layers carried out confirm that laser treatment of the surface layer of the Mg-Al-Zn casting magnesium alloys is feasible using the HPDL high power diode laser ensuring better properties compared to alloys properties after the regular heat treatment after employing the relevant process parameters. Occurrences were found based on the metallographic examinations of the remelted zone (RZ) and the heat affected zone (HAZ) in alloyed surface layer of the investigated casting magnesium alloy. Research limitations/implications: This investigation presents different laser power and in this research was used two powders, namely tungsten-, and titanium carbide. Practical implications: Reinforcing the surface of cast magnesium alloys by adding TiC and WC particles is such a possible way to achieve the possibilities of the laser melt injection process, which is a potential technique to produce a Metal-Matrix Composite (MMC) layer in the top layer of a metal workpiece. Originality/value: The originality of this work is applying of High Power Diode Laser for alloying of magnesium alloy using hard particles like tungsten- and titanium carbide.

Purpose: The paper presents the comparison of the abrasion wear resistance of the laser alloyed hot work tool steels X40CrMoV5-1 and 32CrMoV12-28. Design/methodology/approach: The tribological wear relationships using pin-on-disc test were specified for surface layers subject to laser treatment, determining the friction coefficient, and mass loss of the investigated surfaces. Findings: The performed investigations leads to the conclusions that for both types of steels - X40CrMoV5-1 and 32CrMoV12-28 the wear resistance measured using pin-on-disc, wear resistance test in the metal - metal arrangement, and wear resistance test in the metal - ceramic material arrangement, the wear resistance increases together with the hardness of the surface layer. This relationship is valid for all types of ceramic powders used. It is characteristic for the obtained surface layers, that the high roughness, multiple pores, irregularity, and flashes at the borders increases also together with the increasing of the laser power. Research limitations/implications: In order to evaluate with more detail the possibility of applying these surface layers in tools, further investigations should be concentrated on the determination of the thermal fatigue resistance of the layers. Practical implications: The alloyed layers which were formed on the surface of the hot work steels have shown significant improvement concerning properties. Good properties of the laser treatment make these layers suitable for various technical and industrial applications. Originality/value: A modification of tool steels surface using a laser beam radiation, as well as coating them with special pastes containing carbide particles allows the essential improvement of the surface layer properties - their quality and abrasion resistance, decreasing at the same time the surface quality, what is dependent on the processing parameters such as energy of impulse and the time of its work.

Purpose: of this paper: A study of an automated laser autogenous welding process of butt joints of austenitic stainless steel AISI 321 sheets 0.5 [mm] and 1.0 [mm] thick using a high power diode laser HPDL has been carried out. Design/methodology/approach: Influence of basic parameters of laser welding on shape and quality of the butt joints and the range of optimal parameters of welding were determined. Findings: It was showed that there is a wide range of laser autogenous welding parameters which ensures high quality joints of mechanical strength not lower than the strength of the base material (BM). The butt joints of austenitic steel AISI 321 sheets welded by the HPDL diode laser at optimal parameters are very high quality, without any internal imperfections and the structure and grain size of weld metal and HAZ is very small and also the HAZ is very narrow and the fusion zone is very regular. Research limitations/implications: Studies of the weldability of stainless steels indicate that the basic influence on the quality of welded joints and reduction of thermal distortions has the heat input of welding, moreover the highest quality of welded joints of austenitic stainless steel sheets are ensured only by laser welding. Practical implications: The technology of laser welding can be directly applied for welding of butt joints of austenitic steel AISI 321 sheets 0.5 and 1.0 [mm] thick. Originality/value: Application of high power diode laser for welding of austenitic stainless steel AISI 321.
