Abstract
The effects of surface high-power laser processing were studied for 1C-1.5Cr and 0.38C-Ni-Cr-Mo steels by changing the incident power density and laser-material interaction time. Both melted and solid-state transformed regions were produced, and studied by means of depth-selective surface Mössbauer measurements, X-ray diffraction analyses, metallogmphy and microhardness measurements. The results are compared with those previously obtained by laser surface-melting of OAC carbon steel, and are discussed with reference to the carbon content in the base alloys as well as the conditions of laser processing.
